2016 Ford Focus RS
Ford has presented the 2016 Ford Focus RS, the top version of the series was first go with a four-wheel drive and exclusively as a five-door hatchback at the start. His debut the sport compact cars in early March at the Geneva Motor Show.
The new Ford Focus RS gets a four-wheel drive. However, not in combination with the 2.5-liter five-cylinder predecessor. Instead, grabs the Ford 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder from the new Mustang under the hood and positions the compact sports thus drivenly between VW Golf R, Audi S3 and Mercedes A 45 AMG. Thus, the Cologne its competitors is not inferior even in the everyday use, it will be offered as a five-door first and only time.
Up to 70% driving force on the rear axle
For use in the Ford Focus RS has modified the four-cylinder, among others with a new twin-scroll turbocharger and a larger charge air cooler. As a result, there is an increase in output of 309 hp to well over 320 hp (exact performance data were not yet announced). The change from five to four-cylinder that is fitted as standard with a start-stop system, is to reduce consumption compared to the previous model by 20% to an average of 8.5 l / 100 km.
Minor matter for those who have been waiting for this news: the times of understeer will participate thanks to the all-wheel drive in the new Ford Focus the past. Two electronically controlled differentials distribute the driving force not only between front and rear axles but also between the two rear wheels. A maximum of 70% of the power flow to the rear axle. There directs torque vectoring the torque applied to 100% of the respective outer wheel further if required. To enable this, the on-board electronics evaluates parameters such as steering and yaw angle, lateral acceleration or driving speed. Ford promises neutral self-steering behavior in the border area, readily controllable oversteer and a maximum lateral acceleration of more than 1 g.
Ford Focus RS remains visually restrained
The chassis of the new Ford Focus RS was (in the test of the Ford Focus ST) again tightly tuned compared to the ST model and fitted with larger stabilizers. The dampers are electronically adjustable in two stages. Contact with the road take on 19-inch alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in size 235/35. Surcharge are semi-slicks (Pilot Sport Cup 2) available.
As we noted in our first meeting, the new Ford Focus RS saves an overly good appearance. From less powerful ST model he settles with larger radiator openings, a front spoiler lip and vertical fog lamps. On the wide fenders issued its predecessor Ford has waived. Rear wing, diffuser and two large exhaust pipes are left. Driver and front passenger as before sports seats or optional shell seats. The cockpit is equipped with a flat-bottomed sports steering wheel and as usual with additional instruments for oil temperature, oil pressure and charging. The biggest advantage of the four doors is of course the more accessible Fund, in which two adults can stay comfortable even during long trips.
His debut the new Ford Focus RS in early March at the Geneva Motor Show. Then also find detailed information on performance and driving values are published. It is clear that the new RS rolls at Fords Saarlouis plant from the band and for the first time worldwide, including in North America, China and Australia, will come on the market. For the price of Focus RS has not been announced.

2016 BMW M1
BMW will be release a new supercars, called 2016 BMW M1.
The BMW M1 is one of the legendary sports cars of the 70s and is still remembered. Originally planned as a homologation model, the M1 soon developed into the favorites of the international jet set. With its flat body, whose design included sleeping eyes typical of the spirit of that era, the M1 does not remember baselessly models from Lamborghini, but he originally wanted to build in cooperation with the Italian sports car manufacturer.
This ultimately was nothing but what the M1 success of the project but did not diminish. Much to the displeasure of many sports cars Friends BMW produced only about 400 models of the 286-hp supercar, which upheld the hope for a repeat over a period of more than 30 years. It seems as if one heard the cry in Munich now the die-hard fan base, since 2016, the legendary Bayern M1 athletes are born again and offer Audi R8 and Mercedes-Benz SLS forehead.
The known technical data of the second generation of the M1 sports car can be friends already, four years before the planned publication date in 2016, along the water in the mouth. An engine output of 650 hp, power transmission via the seven-or double-clutch gearbox achtstufigem and direct fuel injection are some of the high-tech ingredients, the new BMW M1. Whether the engine is a supercharged six-acting eight-or ten-cylinder engine is not yet known, but which aggregate ultimately in the M1 are also used, it is loud Development Department for an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in less than three seconds and a top speed beyond 330 km / h to be good. To achieve these objectives will also contribute an extremely lightweight body and active aerodynamics.
Of course, in a high-performance cars such as the M1, the environment and so is not this also be equipped with start-stop system and braking energy recovery. Rumor say that 2016 M1 will be sold at a very high price start at $ 317,000 (about USD 3 Billion ). This should be so exclusive, the 2016 BMW M1, like his predecessors sought.
