1977 Ford Paint Color Code Tt
We already apperceive affluence about the Ford Focus RS hot-hatch, which will backpack a 2.3-liter turbocharged agent with added than 315 hp, all-wheel drive, and a six-speed chiral transmission. Now that the car has fabricated its U.S. admission at the New York auto show, however, we had adventitious to apprentice a little bit added about why car enthusiasts should be aflame for the RS.
1. Auto that save poundsThe accepted 19-inch auto on the Ford Focus RS are corrective a gray hue alleged “Magnetite,” but barter can pay to advancement to black, artificial 19-inch auto that are 1.5 pounds lighter per caster than the accepted rolling stock. The auto accept gone through all the above testing as added Ford wheels, but both cut pounds and advance bigger cooling of the Brembo four-piston advanced calipers because the caster spokes are skinnier. Another advantage to atramentous wheels? “It hides anchor dust appealing good,” says Ford Focus artefact business administrator Omar Odeh. The amount for the artificial auto isn’t accepted but it “won’t be exorbitant.”
2. Exclusive colorsTo advice it angle out from the army and due to accomplishment constraints — alike American-market Focus RSs will be congenital in Germany — alone four acrylic colors will be offered for the Ford Focus RS. The pale-blue apparent actuality is alleged Nitrous Blue, and it’s an big-ticket four-stage acrylic that won’t be acclimated on any added Ford product. Added blush choices comprise Shadow Black, Stealth gray, and Frozen White. No amount what blush buyers pick, the anchor calipers will additionally be corrective Nitrous Blue.
3. It doesn’t alike liftCreating downforce on a artery car is tough, but the Ford Focus RS is claimed to accept “zero lift” at speeds as aerial as 155 mph. The car’s advanced splitter, rear diffuser, and rear addition are all anatomic and, according to Odeh, accumulate the RS from bearing aerodynamic lift at acceleration (the aero amalgamation does not accomplish absolute downforce). That agency the car doesn’t go “light” at speeds, convalescent disciplinarian confidence. The behemothic rear addition alike has an aerofoil-like appearance and a attenuate barrow lip on its abaft edge.
4. Fixed council ratioThe Ford Focus ST has a variable-ratio council rack, acceptation the council gets quicker as you about-face the caster more, but the RS instead has a quick, fixed-ratio rack. It’s a baby change, but Odeh says it was called because, “We begin that with the all-wheel drive this gave a added affiliated feel.”
5. Affluence of techIt may be meant for clue days, but the Ford Focus RS still packs affluence of animal comforts. A acrimonious council caster is packaged with acrimonious seats, a moonroof is available, and the car alike has accepted stop-start, authoritative it the alone ST or RS artefact in the U.S. with agent alpha stop. That should advice save some gas — at atomic until you antic on the burke back the ablaze turns green.
6. Aces your tireThe above caster best additionally after-effects in altered tires. The RS comes as accepted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, but advance to the artificial auto brings alike sticker Michelin Pilot Cup 2 rubber.
