Engine and Powertrain Features of the 2018 Limited Edition Ford Focus RS

Outperforming the 2017 Ford Focus RS is a tough task for any car, but the 2018 Limited Edition Ford Focus RS is more than up to the task. That’s because the new Ford Focus RS Limited Edition features a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine offering an unheard of 350 horsepower. Another impressive powertrain feature is the Quaife limited-slip differential, which optimizes your new 2018 Limited Edition Focus RS’s acceleration and stability by limiting the engine torque to the front wheel with reduced traction and sending that torque to the wheel with more traction to reduce differences in wheel spin. Additional powertrain features include Ford Performance All-Wheel Drive, Dynamic Torque Vectoring, Torque Vectoring Control and the standard Ford Focus RS driving modes.
