The 2016 Ford Focus RS Is God In Hatchback Form
The most impressive thing about the 2016 Ford Focus RS
isn’t the Drift Mode or the fact that it’s stupidly fast on track
without showing any sign of understeer. What you’ll really love is how
refined and easy it is as a road car. No hot hatch ticks all the boxes
quite like Ford’s does—and rejoice, for this Euro legend is finally
coming to America.
[Full disclosure: Ford flew me to Spain, let me
drive the RS on track and even paid for all my beers. Plus, they gave me
that sweet RS poster. Everything about Spain is wonderful, except maybe
the Guardia Civil.]
Simply put, I would daily the crap out of the Focus RS. In Nitrous
Blue. But before explaining why, let me walk you through how Ford came
up with its first global RS car.
People don’t realize this, but the previous Europe-only Focus RS understeered badly at speed. It had a machine gun-like Volvo-sourced five cylinder turbo, and an innovative system
to conquer its front-wheel drive limitations, but it wasn’t enough.
Maybe it was enough for a family hatchback, but not for something with a
proper RS badge.
Tyrone Johnson, a guy who spent the last 31 years of his career at
the company only to end up being Ford Performance’s Vehicle Engineering
Manager responsible for the RS project, says anything that understeers
is “shit.” No excuses. It’s just shit, he said.
I tried to explain him that the Civic Type R is fun anyway, but he was having none of it.
This Is Where It Got Complicated
Ford decided to put the Mustang EcoBoost’s 2.3 four-cylinder under
the hood, but upgraded with a new twin-scroll turbocharger, intake,
exhaust, high-flow head, stronger cylinder liners, oil cooler and the
largest radiator and intercooler they could physically jam into the car.
The resulting 350 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque meant there
was no other way than going all-wheel drive. And while they actually
built a prototype using a Haldex system like the one you find in cars
such as the Volkswagen Golf R, that didn’t cut it, because as I mentioned before, understeer is shit.
Plan B came just 18 months before launch:
What you’re looking at is GKN’s Twinster all-wheel drive (and an almost entirely straight exhaust with no center muffler). The only other car on the market today equipped with this is the Range Rover Evoque, but Ford’s was beefed up to handle all that torque, all the time.
Basically, it’s an electro-hydraulic system with torque vectoring,
consisting of a rear drive unit capable of overspeeding the rear wheels
at a 1.8 ratio, with wet clutches on both sides and a separate cooler,
connected to what acts as an open front diff with brake-based torque
vectoring by a three-piece driveshaft.
Rather complicated? Hell yeah. But as Clarkson would say, it does many things.
Track Mode Or Drift Mode?
When you’re just cruising along the highway with minimum steering
input, the pumps turn off, disengaging the rear clutches so you end up
driving a front-wheel drive Focus. But the moment there’s something more
action packed going on, it’s back to all-wheel drive that can send up
to 70 percent of the torque to rear wheels.
The rear drive unit also directs 90 percent of that torque to the
outer wheel to help the car turn, or all to each side back and forth if
necessary. The sensors monitor the situation at a hundred times per
second, which sounds about enough to me.
Obviously, in Drift Mode, you get as much torque to the rear as
possible while the dampers and the steering goes soft for those ultimate
Ken Block moments. They make it really easy nowadays.
There are other modes besides Drift, also. Track Mode gives you
minimum ESC interference while making Tenneco’s inner-valve two-stage
electric shocks 40 percent stiffer than in Sport mode, while Normal is
pretty much the same as the Focus ST’s settings.
With the springs being 33 and 38 percent harder than the ST’s, the
benefits of the reenforced chassis and Michelin’s specially developed
Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, this is the RS’s fastest setup unless you’re
confident enough to switch off the ESC completely.
The cool thing is that the damper settings can be changed in any of
the drive modes with one finger, while Track and Drift can be limited to
your key in case you don’t wish to give a chance for your teenage son
to try them out on his way to the grocery store.
Ford used Hockenheim’s smooth tarmac as the standard for the
suspension instead of the inconsistent bumps of the Nürburgring, while
Michelin put 1,240 miles of testing into the rubber. The tires are
235/35 R19s, with the track-focused Cup 2s being only available with
Ford’s forged wheels, which save 2 pounds of unsprung weight in each
corner.
The brakes are rock solid four-piston Brembos with 350mm rotors. They
got their own cooling ducts at the front, which was significantly
redesigned to let through as much air as possible. The RS’s grill mesh
is so thin you can barely see it, and somewhere behind it, there’s an
intercooler the size of Texas.
With the cooling done, Ford had to sort out the aerodynamics, and
with the front splitter, rear diffuser and roof spoiler, they managed to
get zero lift at both ends. Ground clearance? Forget it. The moment you
hit a steep driveway, it’s a touchdown. And while we are at it: The
steering might have a quicker ratio at 2.0 lock to lock, but the turning
circle will still make you reverse. A lot.
Its styling almost makes the RS a sleeper compared to some of its
shouty competitors, especially if you buy one in Shadow Black, Frozen
White or Stealth Gray. Nitrous Blue is an $695 extra anyway.
Ford will say that’s because they are the mature ones, but the
reality is that unlike the Focus you buy in America, the Focus RS is
built on a standard assembly line in Germany and the engines are put
together in Spain. That means every RS-specific modification had to fit
the line, and crazy wide wheel arches were out of the picture from day
one. Having said that, the RS is 23 percent stiffer than a regular
Focus, thanks to a completely redesigned rear subframe and braces welded
into the body itself.
To keep the weight figure down, they just ditched some of the sound
isolation. You can also order your RS with superb lightweight seats, as
long as you’re in Europe.
American buyers will have a look out for what’s new in the Ford
Performance catalogue a few months on, but should be also happy to learn
that while Ford won’t go into production figure predictions, about as
many Focus RSs are planned for the US as for the whole of Europe. And
here, they pre-sold 3,700 already.
In Those Seats
The first thing I noticed is how quiet the RS is when you’re driving
it just like you would roll in a regular Focus. There’s bit of roar in
the background as a reminder of those 350 horses, but you can have a
normal conversation. And since the clutch, the six-speed manual and the
steering are also as easy to operate as in any normal hatchback, there’s
no reason why you shouldn’t do everything driving an RS. Some hot
hatches you can live with, but this is a true daily driver. Easy? Quiet? You might be wondering if I’m really talking about the RS here. But I am, and it works.
My sound level observation might be totally off, because Mr. Caswell
found it to have more road noise than what some might expect. Still, I
think in Normal mode, the RS might just be the most livable sports car
out there. Ford also put a manual in it partly for cost reasons, because
they believe a hot hatch makes no sense if people can’t afford it.
Plus, I guess it would be hard to sell a more expensive hatch with a
Ford badge.
Either way: kids, dogs, tracks. That was pretty much the mission, and they scored big. It can do everything.
When you’re in Sport Mode, the RS sharpens up a bit, and thanks to
some trickery with the ignition, the exhaust does all the pops and bangs
you always wished for. Despite the massive exhaust under the car that’s
nearly a straight pipe, it still uses digital sound enhancement similar
to the one you find in an ST. That didn’t bother me.
Sport Mode will satisfy most on a normal day, but since we’re talking
about a performance car here, I have no doubt many buyers will ignore
the message on the screen and switch their STI-slayer Focuses to Track
or Drift on public roads as well.
While Ford wouldn’t recommend that, the good news is that the RS
won’t turn into a suicide machine when you dial it up, although if you
go even further by switching off the ESC, you better know what’s up.
Ford’s engineers say they have achieved RWD feel with AWD traction,
but to me, the RS felt more like a perfectly balanced AWD car that could
oversteer on the track if you really insisted.
Oh, and let’s not forget about the Launch Control either.
Zero to sixty in 4.7 seconds comes courtesy of a turbo operating at
23 psi, the AWD locking the rear into a solid axle, revs locked at 5,000
RPM, you dumping the clutch as quickly as possible and not lifting from
the gas between first and second. It’s rather entertaining.
For this kind of money—a base price of just $35,730 in the U.S.—the
RS really has no competitors. Even the WRX STI, Golf R and Civic Type R
can’t offer this much of both livability and performance.
I spent nearly an hour in it on a track at speed without feeling
bored for a second. It’s got nice steering, all the power and brakes
that will outlast you. It doesn’t go wide, lets you know exactly when
those Michelins want to go on holiday, and as a road car, I just loved
it even more.
A fair question at this point is reliability.
Ford says the RS was designed to handle half an hour of continuous
punishment, be that in Drift mode or Track. That sounds reassuring, but
when we went out for our first few laps on the track, my car gave me an
engine warning message before limiting the revs, while Bill Caswell
retired his with an AWD issue. Tyrone Johnson said the diffs can’t
overheat, another Ford guy at the pits told us the complete opposite. It
seemed fair to believe him instead.
Our second cars worked perfectly fine, but Ford admits that the RS’s
Twinster system is pretty close to its limits handling 350 horses and
350 foot pounds already, so in case you’re planning to go aftermarket
and increase the power further without beefing up the drivetrain, expect
to get some shredded metal with your voided warranty.
And what if Ford made an even faster, hotter Focus RS? It will have to have bigger gears as well as a turbo, that’s for sure.
In the meantime, I would buy just this regular one in a heartbeat.
There is nothing it cannot do (except maybe go off road like a WRC car.
Maybe.)
Meet God in hatchback form.
The 1989 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth was built to compete in a compromised formula, Group A. According to Jalopnik science, all this means is that Ford should really turn the new Focus RS into a touring car already.
According to Colin Pitt’s book,
it was back in 1983 that the freshly appointed head of Ford Motorsport
Stuart Turner decided it would be best for the company to dominate Group
A racing again. With the Sierra, powered by Cosworth and a giant
Garrett T04 turbo.
It had to be the Sierra Cosworth because Ford had to base its racer
on a model of which they sold at least 5,000 units a year. Then came a
run of 500 Cosworth RS500s,
the upgraded homologation specials as close to the Group A
specifications as a number plate allowed. But despite their name, those
did not come with 500 horsepower. Or even half of that.
Tiff Needell’s Group A car did. It was a gutted street car with a
turbo lag the size of Lincolnshire and beefy brakes. It had a tendency
to oversteer. You could call them “lively.”

TOTAL SURVEY REPORT OF MITSUBISHI MOTORS(DIVISION) And
8 of the Best Cars Mitsubishi Ever Built
After months of rumors, it’s official: Mitsubishi will be shuttering
its Normal, Illinois plant after years of dwindling sales and a
shrinking footprint in the American marketplace. The company has become
so small in the last few years that it’s become little more than an
afterthought, and lately, the automotive press has began to circle,
sensing that the death watch has begun.
But it wasn’t always this way. Just 15 years ago, the Illinois plant
was cranking out over 200,000 cars a year, thanks to strong showing from
models like the Eclipse, Galant, and Outlander. It opened the plant in
1988 in a partnership with Chrysler, under the name Diamond-Star Motors,
a company that offered both Mitsus and captive import Chrysler models.
The American brand pulled out in 1992, but Mitsubishi carried on for
another decade or so before the real problems started.
As bleak as it may seem, good times may actually be just around the
corner; the company has seen sales increases every year since 2012, and
with 57,412 vehicles sold through July, it’s already moved more metal
than it did in all of 2012. Customers are responding to the entry-level
Mirage and the competitively-priced Outlander Sport, and with a new full-size Outlander and expanded lineup reportedly on the way, the company could find it self in a much different position in a few years time.
So in hopes that the company can rebound, here are 8 classic Mitsus
to remind us that the company is capable of some pretty great things.
1. Lancer 1600 GSR

The Lancer is about as prestigious a nameplate as Mitsu has, and it’s
been a rally winner since it debuted in 1973. In 1600GSR form, it
dominated some of the sport’s most grueling courses, winning Africa’s
Safari Rally twice, and Australia’s Souther Cross Rally four times. We
got it stateside as the Dodge Colt, albeit in a much more sedate
econobox form.
2. Starion

When Mitsubishi made its U.S. debut under its own name in 1982, the
Starion was one of its first models. Designed to take on heavyweights
like the Nissan Z-cars, Mazda RX-7, and Toyota Supra, the rear-wheel
drive grand tourer was also sold as the Conquest by Dodge, Plymouth and
Chrysler. By 1986, it received an aggressive wide-body kit, an
intercooler, and in hot ESR trim (or TSi if it was Chrysler-badged) it
could make up to 188 horsepower and 234 pounds-feet of torque, pretty impressive for a Japanese sports car of its day.
3. Mitsubishi Eclipse

The Eclipse (A.K.A. Eagle Talon/Plymouth Laser) debuted in 1989 as
a replacement for the Starion/Conquest, and it has since gone on to
become the gateway to tuning culture for thousands of young gearheads.
It was born out of agreement between the company and Chrysler (Diamond
Star Motors), where American models (badged as both Mitsus and
Chryslers) would be built at an all-new plant in Normal, Ill. Atop the
lineup was the GSX Turbo, a 195 horsepower all-wheel drive monster that
loved to rev, and could scramble from zero-to-60 in the low-seven second
range. The Eclipse disappeared after four generations in 2012, but by
then its glory days were long behind it.
4. Galant VR-4

While the all-new ’88 Galant won the coveted Japanese Car of the Year award,
Mitsubishi still couldn’t hold a candle to the Honda Accord or the
Toyota Camry in sales. But with its new Galant sedan, it could be
optioned as the turbocharged 195 horsepower all-wheel drive VR-4, a
slightly more civilized version of company’s factory-backed rally cars –
but only slightly. After 1992, Mitsu shifted its racing focus to the
smaller, lighter Lancer, but the Galant VR-4 soldiered on through ’02.
If you’re looking for the origins of the mighty Evo, look no further
than the original VR-4.
5. 3000GT VR-4

The 3000GT VR-4 isn’t just one of the greatest Mitsubishis ever made,
it’s one of the greatest Japanese sports cars of all time. Despite
looking nearly identical to the base 3000GT and the Dodge Stealth, the
VR-4 was known in Japan as simply the GTO, and with good cause: It was a
300 horsepower, twin-turbo, all-wheel drive beast that could scramble
from zero to 60 in 5.4 seconds. With a starting price at $30,000 (in 1991), the VR-4 was quicker and more powerful than an Acura NSX, and cost half the price. If you’re talking everyday supercars, you can’t forget to mention Mitsubishi’s criminally underrated contender.
6. Diamante

Mitsubishi won its second Japanese Car of the Year award in 1990 with
the Diamante, a premium sedan designed to take on the Acura Legend.
Reaching U.S. shores in 1992, it held its own at a time when the
Japanese premium car market was still in its infancy. While later
generations eventually lost their way (it was discontinued in 2005), the
first generation car, with its BMW-style shark nose and uncluttered
design looks just as good today as it did 25 years ago.
7. Montero

When the Montero debuted in 1982 (it was known as the Pajero in other
markets), it was built to compete against SUVs like the Isuzu Trooper,
Suzuki Samurai, and Jeep CJ-7 at a time when SUVs were still built more
for off-roading than highway cruising. The Montero (A.K.A Dodge Raider
in the ’80s) was popular around the world for being able to handle
inhospitable terrain without breaking the bank, and thanks to Mitsu’s
excellent four-wheel drive system, even had some success rallying. While
it was never available stateside, the company even built a Pajero Evo in 1998.
8. Evo X
Source: Mitsubishi UK
If we’re honest, this entire list has been a struggle not to just
list all the Evos. Of course, Evo is short for Evolution, as in
Mitsubishi started with a garden-variety Lancer back in 1992 and has let
it evolve into a top-of-the-food chain rally monster. In its 10th and
final form (it’s been discontinued after 2015), the Evo has a
turbocharged/intercooled 2.0 liter inline-four delivering 291 horsepower
to all four wheels. Whether on the highway or on some of the most
unforgiving terrain on the planet, this final Evo can launch from zero
to 60 in under five seconds, and stay planted to the road in any
conditions.
With the discontinuation of the Evo, and the closure of Mitsu’s sole
American factory, it really does feel like the end of an era. But
Mitsubishi has weathered storms before, and with growing sales and a new
lineup on the way, we’re looking forward to seeing what one of Japan’s
most unique automakers will come up with for its second act.A Tiger In it`s Company`s Image And Brand.This is the car which can beat any victory japanese racing vehicle`s like targeting nissan 370z nismo.

11 Naturally Aspirated Cars That Make Crazy Horsepower Per Liter
Through engineering wizardry, these cars have engines that achieve
ridiculous power-per-liter ratios—a true test of efficiency and
performance.
1.Porsche 911.
2.Lamborghini(All Cars).
3.Audi(Fuel Stratified Injection R8)fitted with lamb engine rather than audi.
When Porsche announced at the Detroit auto show that the new 911 Turbo S
is capable of lapping the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7 minutes and 18
seconds, we were genuinely surprised. Not because of the time itself,
which is well within the frame of reference for Porsche’s megafast
machinery, and which means that the four-wheel-drive Turbo S is quicker
around the ’Ring than the GT3 RS. But because we thought there was supposed to be a moratorium on manufacturers announcing times from the 12.9-mile circuit, which currently has two speed-restricted sections, imposed after a fatal crash in a race last year.
As to the first charge, the 911 Turbo’s engineering boss, Erhard
Mössle, only smiled when we talked to him about it on Porsche’s stand at
NAIAS, but he also admitted that there’s some digital simulation in
that number.
“Some parts are driven and compared to the previous 911 Turbo,” he
explained, “and the [speed-] limited sections where you’re not allowed
to do top speed are calculated. We will then go and check it later this
year in spring when the speed limits are removed.
But the 7:18 we are sure to meet; we are normally very conservative
with times and that time was set on the standard tires, not sports
tires.”
"That`s Why We Call Porsche INSANE POWER MACHINERY".
Henrik Fisker's new supercar is a brash, bold, and unapologetically loud
(BI Graphics) One
of the biggest stories to come out of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show was
somewhat unexpected. Henrik Fisker — who made a splash several years ago
with a gorgeous Tesla competitor, the Fisker Karma, and startup car
company that later went bankrupt — staged a comeback with the debut of his Force 1 V10 supercar.
The Force 1 is the
flagship of VLF Automotive. It's essentially a Fisker-designed shell
laid over a Dodge Viper. The V10 engine makes 745 horsepower, the 0-60
mph will probably be around 3 seconds, and the interior thoughtfully
included a Champagne rack between the seats.
Fisker says that its an American
supercar, selling for $300,000, that embodies American values. One of
those values is clearly the American freedom to enable Danish car
designers to pull out every riff in their grandiose playbooks. There's
really nothing subtle about the Force 1, starting with the name and
extending through the various heavily amplified and distorted power
chords rippling across its silvery surface. This is a car that's fully
intended to rattle your teeth and grab you in the guts. It is not a
cerebral undertaking. It is blunt and brash and arrogantly cool. It's
what a comeback is supposed to look like.
