Ford Focus Vignale Estate. Fun-to-drive estate car with premium touches. 7/10. Ford Focus Vignale Estate review. RRP. £27,950. A complete review of the Ford Focus RS. Read our honest assessment of its practicality and driving performance, and compare its specs and prices.
The first 2,500 cars were built to homologate the Escort RS Cosworth into rally racing; after these were willed into being, Ford tweaked the package to make it more livable on the street. The Garett T35 turbo that was initially supplied was too large; the unbearable turbo lag meant you had to cane it to get the most out of it.
The Ford Escort RS Turbo belongs to the Escort Mark 4 model family from Ford. It's powered courtesy of a turbocharged engine of 1.6 litre capacity. This unit features single overhead camshaft valve gear, 4 cylinder layout, and 2 valves per cylinder.
