2018 Ford Focus RS With Only 2K Miles Up For Auction

The hot hatch, as we know it, has largely disappeared from the automotive world in recent years, which is a big shame for folks that appreciate a reasonably-priced, fun to drive, and practical mode of transportation. Luckily, there are lots of nice, lower-mile versions of the high-performance Ford Focus RS still out there for the taking, with that particular model surfacing at auction on a regular basis. Now, this very low-mile 2018 Ford Focus RS is up for grabs, too, and it's sure to appeal to anyone that appreciates a good old fashioned hot hatch.

This 2018 Ford Focus RS is up for auction at Cars & Bids with just 2,300 miles on the clock, leaving it in nearly new condition. In fact, the car only has one flaw noted in the auction listing - a ding in the rear - and that's it. Otherwise, we're looking at a basically flawless example of the Focus RS finished in Race Red with forged 19-inch wheels, Brembo front brakes with blue calipers, a sunroof, and RS-specific bodywork that lends the Focus RS its sporty looks.

Inside, one will find an equally sanitary Charcoal Black interior fitted with heated front power-adjustable Recaro seats finished in leather and suede, a heated steering wheel (that's an aftermarket piece), and a rear-view camera.

In terms of power, that comes from the the turbocharged 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost engine, which was factory rated to produce 350 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, flowing to all four wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and Dynamic Torque Vectoring. Other features such as launch control and a sport suspension make the simple act of driving the Ford Focus RS a bit more enjoyable, too.

In addition to this ultra-nice Ford Focus RS, we've spotted a few other stellar examples as of late - a list that includes a 2016 model with less than 2k miles, and a 2017 with only 700 miles.
