Default Ford of France limited edition RS Focus

Bags the one in Gulf colours


Across the pond, Ford is continuing to roll out a few tricks to keep the Focus RS tasty before its demise later this year. As such, it's unveiled five special edition models designed to commemorate its winning history at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Each of the hatches wears a unique paint scheme and wheel combo designed to invoke the liveries of storied Blue Oval racers of yore. It's easy to spot the blue and orange of the Gulf liveried GT 40 racers – those cars famously took the checkers in '68 and '69 – but more casual fans may not recognize some of the less imitated designs.

The black and silver of the '66 Mark II, red and white of the '67 Mark IV and the blue and white of the '72 RS 2600 are all replicated on one of the hottest hatches to roll out of Ford Europe in a long while. Each carries special interior treatments, including Recaro racing buckets that have been stitched to match the exterior paint. Ready for the real kicker? Ford is only selling the five you see above – no more, no less.

Oh the sex appeal! I love em, bring them here!! The red on black on white colour combo is the best imo. Too bad they're not making any more though

So only making one in each colour, I'd like to have one mint in 30 years.
Any idea on the price compared to the 'normal' RS, any extra power?

Oh and by the way I shotgun the red w/white one ;)
