Amidst all sorts of speculations about what will go under the hood of the new Focus RS, Ford is consider a 2.0lt turbocharged motor with 300+ bhp coupled to electric motors at the rear. In simple terms, the next-gen Focus RS will be a HYBRID! The current RS 500 runs a 345bhp, 2.0lt turbocharged Volvo motor. The new car will have to produce more horses and for that matter, Ford will have to dump the Volvo engine this time around as it is not capable of producing any more power. The engine on the new model will be from Ford’s Ecoboost range of petrols which are kind to the environment. The electric motors and green-engines are all thanks to growing environmental concerns within the industry, said Jost Capito.
