A performance powerhouse that's every bit as easy on the eyes as it is a joy to drive, we here at Orleans Ford are altogether over-the-moon for our esteemed American automaker's hot hatchback, the 2017 Focus RS.

And why is that, exactly?

Allow AutoGuide.com Road Test Editor Dan Ilika to explain; his appraisal of the Focus RS is available in the clip below:

The Focus RS's engine -- a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder -- is, simply put, a stunner.

Mating with a six-speed manual gearbox, this four-banger generates a goliath 350 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. Standard fare includes all-wheel drive.

Also standard with the Focus RS is outrageous acceleration, as it's capable of doing the 0-to-60 mph dash in a mere 4.7 seconds.

If you'd like to learn more about this beastly beauty, or wish to get behind the wheel of one, we encourage you to drop by our Medina, NY dealership. Our automotive aficionados are ready to answer your every question about the Focus RS, or any other Ford model within the present portfolio.
