Readers of weekly lads mag, Nuts, have voted the Ford Focus RS as their car of the year.
Following on from the car winning the Scottish ’sporting’ Car of the Year earlier in November, the car has racked up 2,000 orders since it became available. Total UK production is around 4,000 vehicles.
Nuts magazine Deputy Editor, Adam Ralph, said: “Our readers felt the Focus RS represented all that a young bloke looked for in a new car – it’s affordable, a real head turner and ridiculously good fun to drive.”
On hearing the news, Ford’s Team RS chief engineer, Dirk Densing said: “The Focus RS project set out to deliver optimal high-performance road car technology together with the practicality expected of a Focus. We feel we have achieved this and are delighted that Nuts readers agree.”
