2009 Ford Focus RS

Introduction

Colin Bashford

Professional Consigner

A ludicrously quick hot-hatch, with bags of front-end grip and 301BHP to delve into, this car definitely deserves the RS badge.

The Mk2 Focus RS was Ford's limited production run hot-hatch, capable of hitting ~60MPH in 5.9 seconds and going on to reach a top speed of ~164MPH thanks to the 20v five-cylinder turbo. The Mk2 RS makes no apologies for what it is, with its twin-blade spoiler and sports-focused body kit, these cars definitely have a hooligan streak in them. Based on a very practical hatchback, you'll be able to use this modern classic as a daily driver while also getting your adrenaline fix the moment you open up that 2.5L turbo.

This "Frozen White" example is coming to market from ~5 years ownership. It's had a cambelt, water pump and alternator change carried out ~10,000 miles ago, and presents in good condition with some choice exterior tweaks.

This auction listing was written from information supplied by Colin after meeting Martyn the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

I have certainly enjoyed the car, having covered many miles in my ownership, you never get bored of driving it.

Buying the car 5 years ago, Martyn fulfilled the desire of owning a Focus RS. He mentions the car offered him the perfect blend of power and performance, giving him the option to use it regularly enough with its practical cabin.

The car also comes with a set of 15-spoke Black RS wheels with tyres, if the new owner would prefer to return the RS to original spec, Martyn has been running the car with the aftermarket bronze wheels pictured. Now in the market for a new sports car, he'd love to see this go to a fellow RS enthusiast, someone who will enjoy and use the car as he has. Martyn will be on hand and happy to answer your questions in the comments below.

EXTERIOR VIDEO

Exterior

With the sports body kit and twin-blade spoiler, you know this RS means business.

Wheels and Tyres

The car is fitted with a set of Bola B1 alloys, finished in bronze, which pair well with the Frozen White paintwork. The wheels present generally in great condition, with a little area of lacquer peel on the front offside alloy. As mentioned the car also comes with a set of 15-spoke Black RS wheels with tyres, if the new owner would prefer to return to the original spec.

The front tyre's on the Bola's are Uniroyal rainsport 5's dated 2021, and on the rear you'll find Pirelli P-Zero's dated 2019. All tyres appear to have a usable amount of tread.

Bodywork

The car stands straight, shut lines appear good and doors, boot and bonnet close with precision. The car is fitted with TRC side skirts, when getting really close to the bodywork we noticed a few minor stone chips, some bubbling to the rear side arch, and a little flaking on the rear lower diffuser.

We have taken hi-resolution images and videos of the car from a range of angles to help you to assess the condition of the bodywork for yourselves.

Paint

Finished in 'Frozen White', a great colour with contrasting black trim around the car. The colour is even and consistent with a deep shine across each panel of the car.

Please take the time to fully assess the condition of the exterior. The images taken are from various angles and reflections to show off this RS, as you would see it if you were standing there for yourselves.

Glass and Trim

The windscreen, window and mirror glass are clear and we could see no sign of scratches or chips.

Trim appears great with badging retaining much of its original brightness and clarity.

Mechanics

Fitted with a heavily reworked version of the Focus ST turbocharged 2.5L block, the Rs has a bigger turbo, new intercooler, forged crank, silicon-aluminium pistons and graphite-coated bores.

Engine and Gearbox

The heavily revised RS engine helped produce ~301BHP at 6500rpm, a 78BHP jump from the ST. The car has an AS Performance inlet manifold, uprated air filter and intercooler and comes with a Bluefin Unit allowing you to upload remap files yourself. Bluefin quote their ECU remap improved both torque and BHP, the stage 1 software is designed for use with standard components within the tolerances of the vehicle and states it adds an additional ~47BHP and 56nm of torque - giving you ~348BHP/504nm to tap into.

Martyn has had the cambelt and water pump changed at ~80,000 miles. Please view the Focus RS cold start video, where we start the car cold, show around the engine bay, underneath the car, and also an "On The Road" video.

Suspension and Brakes

Fitted with Ford RevoKnuckle front suspension, a Quaife limited-slip diff and ESP does a great job of putting the power down through the front wheels.

Martyn informs us the car drives just as it should and stops on demand too.

The Drive

With a distinctive five-cylinder soundtrack, turbo-chatter, and the odd pop and bang from the exhaust, the RS will get you to your destination promptly that's for sure.

The RS Mk2 has a huge cult following and it's easy to see why, with the bronze Bola alloys and additional trim, Martyn has put his own stamp on this RS, helping it stand out from the crowd.

Electrics and Other

All switches, lights and dials appear working and free from damage. As mentioned, the car has Bluefin unit which allows remapping of the ECU.

Martyn confirms everything works exactly as it should.
