High-Performance Ford Rally Sport On-Road Kit
This RC kit replicates the rally-inspired 2003 Ford Focus RS Custom on the user-friendly TT-02 chassis. In 2003, Ford Motor Co. Team's chief engineer, Christian Loriaux, implemented modifications to the Focus, including changes to the seat position, roll cage, suspension, and enhanced aerodynamics with an updated bumper shape, hood intake position, and a large rear wing. Powered by a 2-liter inline-4 turbo engine delivering 296HP and 369lb-ft of torque, this rally car achieved four second-place finishes in the Manufacturer ranking over its 7-year race campaign. The kit faithfully recreates a customized street version devoid of sponsor logos.
