You might remember the Focus RX Rallycross being teased at the end of Ken Block’s gymkhana video? Well, the rally driver returned with some new sneak peeks of the car, showing bits and pieces of it.
Ford has already confirmed that Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing Division team will get its hands on two factory-supported 2016 Focus RS', and although we haven’t seen the model in all of its glory (yet), we know the four-pot EcoBoost engine will push the it from 0 to 100 Km/h (62mph) in less than 2 seconds thanks to the monumental 600 HP and 900 Nm (663 lb-ft) of torque output.
The vehicle will come bearing an FIA-spec roll cage, bespoke widened body, custom underbody protection, a 6-speed sequential gearbox, SLA-type suspension, Brembo 4-piston calipers, 17-inch WRX wheels and WRX spec AVON race tires.
The car is expected to debut at the at the FIA World Rallycross event in Portugal, April 15-17, but for those of you impatiently waiting to find out more about it, Ken Block himself posted a series of exposing pictures with the Focus RX on his Instagram account, underlining the model’s carbon fiber usage and how much he loves the composite material.
