Want an environmentally friendly vehicle with all the asphalt punishing power of a V-8? Yeah, me too, but the 350 horsepower, 5-cylinder turbo Focus RS Clubsport will be a limited edition, and only available in Europe.
We may get lucky though and see the RS Clubsport’s cousin on North American soil as Ford is set to release the 2.0-liter Ecoboost 4-cylinder in the new Focus RS. With direct-injection turbo, and an electric motor for the rear wheels, it can offer almost as much muscle while being eco-friendly.
