Ford justifies its decision by citing high development costs and stricter emissions regulations in Europe. With no RS in sight, the ST will remain the best-performing Focus this generation. It's available as a hatchback and wagon with a choice between manual and automatic gearboxes and gasoline and diesel engines.
A new report states Ford has ruled out the idea of a new Focus RS due to stricter emissions regulations in Europe as well as high development costs.
