DESCRIPTION

Background:

The Ford Focus RS500 made its global debut at the Leipzig Motor Show in April 2010 and marked the final swansong for production of the second generation Focus RS. The new and more powerful, limited-edition Focus RS500 model was launched as the ultimate performance Ford for serious performance car enthusiasts.

The new model was given the RS500 designation to highlight its strictly limited production run of 500 individually numbered vehicles and featured a muscular 345bhp, 2.5-litre, five-cylinder engine, which generated 15% more power than the standard Focus RS and delivered truly exhilarating performance. The RS exuded menace with its gaping grille, 19'' wheels, flared arches, deep diffuser, large rear wing, and left you in no doubt about its intentions.

The limited-edition RS500 is even more dramatic, sporting a unique matt black finish with matching alloy wheels and delivering a powerful visual impact unmatched by any other production Ford. The last of these remarkable vehicles left Ford's Assembly Plant in Germany during September 2010.

The car:

Offered here is number 103 of the 500 built and it was first registered in the UK on 3rd August 2010. It's a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example, one of 101 allocated to the UK market and had covered just around 8,500 miles at the time of cataloguing. Our vendor has informed us that this RS has been stored within heated and insulated motorcar housing and seldom used, only between the warmer and dryer months of May to September.

Within the car's history file is the current V5C and the original service book confirming that the RS has been regularly maintained by mostly Ford dealerships or RS Specialists with nine supporting stamps, the most recent service being at 8,258 miles. In addition to the comprehensive service history, the car is supplied with two sets of keys and the appropriate private registration plate displaying R500 TGO, will remain on the car and forms part of the sale.

Every RS500 was sold even before a single customer had a chance to drive one, a fact that speaks volumes about the RS500’s status as a future classic, and this is a special opportunity to own a rare, low mileage well maintained example of an RS500 and join a rather exclusive club.
