Extreme Testing -- New Focus takes on the Alps!

Next generation Ford Focus has been tested in some of the most extreme locations on the planet. It's been thrashed over frozen arctic lakes, hammered across the hottest deserts, and driven overloaded up and down high Alpine passes to ensure impeccable reliability and dependability wherever it is sold...

I replyed "yes and it will AWD"

The next generation focus (shown in this video) will have an ST and an RS version, the RS WILL!! have AWD, trust me i read it on the ford website

The car will have a conventional FWD setup, with an electric motor kicking in to drive the rear wheels when traction is lost... kind of like the system in the Kuga but with an electric motor.

This video is awesome! Thank you Ford and Ford of Europe for sharing this with us!

Did these engineers test the new 2.0 Ti-VCT DI engine that the U.S. Focus is getting paired with the Powershift 6 speed dual dry clutch automatic on this same route over the Austrian Alps? Or are they only testing powertrains/drivetrains for the European market? Thanks!

NO Focus gets AWD, even not the RS500

@stabakfan me neither, also that little cut out of metal next to the taillight makes it look like an after thought.
