The fourth generation of the Ford Focus came out in 2018, but it never got the RS version. The French edition of Caradisiac reports that this does not seem to happen.

The latest version of the RS received a 2.3-hp Ecoboost engine with 350 hp. and advanced four-wheel drive. According to rumors, the Americans were going to make the new RS hybrid and achieve 400 hp. However, toughening environmental standards in Europe has intervened since 2021 (the introduction of measures may be delayed due to coronavirus).

There is also a financial aspect – the project of the new Focus RS was too expensive. Especially in light of Ford’s savings plan. The brand closes some plants in Europe, cuts jobs, removes some models from the assortment, and practically leaves the Russian market.
