最近谍照记者拍到了下一代福特福克斯RS测试车,该车搭载了新的引擎,传动系统和双排气尾管,当时车辆正在进行炎热气候测试。虽然车鼻部分被遮盖，但仍可看出车头采用了进一步扩大底部进气口，或许这是为了向中冷提供更多冷气。据报道，新一代福克斯RS将搭载新的2.3升四缸EcoBoost引擎，功率约为300马力。目前这台新引擎已经出现在新款野马上，这台引擎已经使用了很长时间，一直配备在后驱车型上。
Next Ford Focus RS to get 300bhp from Mustang engine
This mule has been fitted with a new engine, drivetrain and twin-pipe exhaust system and is thought to be hot-weather testing.
Although the nose construction is an engineering mock-up, it does give clues to the front end that will be fitted to the production car, particularly the exaggerated lower intake, which probably feeds the engine intercooler.
According to reports from the US, the Focus RS will use a new 2.3-litre, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, which should turn out about 300bhp. The new engine has already appeared in the new Mustang, where it is used longways and drives the rear wheels.
