2006 Ford Focus RS WRC 06
June 19th, 2006
Ford of Europe officially unveiled the all-new Ford Focus RS World Rally Car 06 at the 2005 Bologna Motor Show in Italy. The car will be Ford’s challenger in the FIA World Rally Championship from 2006 onwards and was unveiled in the eye-catching livery in which it will make its full competitive debut in January’s Monte Carlo Rally.
It is based on the high-performance Ford Focus ST road car, which is being launched across Europe this autumn. The new Focus RS WRC 06 has been designed and built in less than 11 months by an experienced and innovative engineering team led by Christian Loriaux, technical director at British-based company M-Sport which operates the Blue Oval’s WRC programme. His team has worked closely in the development with Ford TeamRS, Ford of Europe’s performance road car and motorsport arm.
