Aside from the Mustang, Ford no longer manufactures cars. This one is considered by some to be its finest. The engine is very strong and has turbocharging. The car has an all-wheel drive and a manual gearbox. This one is the correct color, has low mileage, and comes from the final year of the RS. Ford now mostly sells SUVs, trucks, and wagons, with the Mustang being the only car that hasn’t done very well this year. If you grew up with a small Ford in your yard, this is very disappointing because the company has done so well in the past. The last Fiesta ST delivered more driving fun than vehicles twice its price, while the original Taurus SHO felt like an affordable version of the BMW M5. While there are many great tiny cars out there, there is only one clear winner for the Blue Oval Award. This is the Focus RS, like the 2018 model for sale on Bring a Trailer. Bring a trailer is owned by Hearst Autos and charged by Invoice Pricing. This Nitrous Blue 2018 model is the last of its kind. It doesn’t have a window because it wants to keep its center of gravity higher. This is the greatest WRX STI Subaru has ever produced. It has a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 350 horsepower, torque-vectoring all-wheel drive, and a Drift mode that can be chosen. It had a better grip than Honda’s Civic Type-R when the weather wasn’t nice, but it still tore. This car has only 46,000 miles on it, which means it has been well taken care of. Whiteline, a trusted name among Subaru enthusiasts, equipped it with lowering springs—but aside from that, it’s nearly stock, just like it rolled off the factory floor. It has a perfect past and has never been in an accident. You can still drive it even though it has a few small visual issues. Doing so will give you the thrill of the original Escort Cosworth in a form that is more up-to-date with technology. On this side of the Atlantic, Ford did not make the fastest compact cars because speed was mostly set by the Mustang. The Focus RS gave us a chance to try something we weren’t supposed to, and fast Ford fans all over the world knew what the RS badge meant. One of the worst things about the car is the front Recaro seats, which are so highly bolstered that they almost feel like they’re fat-shaming you. It is, however, more than just a small car with top-level Ford performance; it is a vehicle that can compete with much more expensive gear in terms of performance. The 19-inch wheels on this example come with General tires, but when you put on brand-new OEM Michelin Pilots, you’ll feel like Ken Block. We should all be very happy about the Ford Mustang GTD’s latest lap of the Nürburgring, which took less than seven minutes. But less than $300,000 used to get you the best that the blue circle had to offer. Here’s your chance to see the fastest Ford small performance ever. The sale ends on May 7.
