The Ford Focus was removed from that automaker’s U.S. lineup years ago, and later this year, production will cease altogether as the Focus sails off into the proverbial sunset across the entire globe. However, the Focus remains a popular used vehicle option in the U.S. thanks to its affordable price tag and excellent efficiency, two things that are hard to find on the new or used vehicle market these days. As for the high-performance Ford Focus RS, it has also become a red-hot collectible as of late, as we’re seeing a lot of nice examples surface for sale at auction – including this 2017 model.
This 2017 Ford Focus RS is up for auction at Bring a Trailer with a relatively low 44k miles on the clock, and it’s in great condition, to boot. The Nitrous Blue Metallic Quad-Coat painted hot hatch has remained in the state of Oregon since new, living with two owners thus far, and they clearly took good care of it. There are a few minor paint imperfections present, and the seller notes that a weld behind the door latch was repaired in 2021, while a crack in the windshield was fixed a couple of years ago. Otherwise, it’s in nice shape with a set of aftermarket 18-inch Titan7 T-R10 wheels wrapped with 245/40 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.
Inside the cabin, one will find heated Recaro front seats wrapped with Charcoal Black leather and Miko Dinamica microsuede, the 10-speaker Sony sound system, SYNC infotainment with navigation, cruise control, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Power comes from the turbocharged 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost engine, which in this guise produces 350 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, flowing to all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and Dynamic Torque Vectoring.
This is just one of many nice Ford Focus RS models we’ve spotted at auction as of late, a list that also includes a 1k-mile 2016 model that hailed from Canada, as well as a 2018 Focus RS Limited Edition with 17k miles on the clock.
