American automaker Ford revolutionized its chart-topping vehicle, the Focus, by giving its award-winning engine a lot more horsepower. Like Mustang power.

According to The Motley Fool‎, Focus is the company's best-selling car worldwide. The American automaker made Focus RS even better. It boasts of a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that can rate more than 315horse power. Its output is very impressive in reference to Mustang's V8 EcoBoost engine rated at 310hp.

"We are acutely aware of the benchmarks we have set ourselves with RS performance models through the years, and rest assured this new car raises the game to a new level," Jim Farley, president of Ford of Europe, Middle East and Africa, said in a recent press release.

With the powerful engine, Focus RS has the chops to go racing. But the question is, will Ford go that route?

According to caranddriver.com, that possibility was hinted by Jamal Hameedi, Ford's chief of global performance vehicle development, who said the Focus RS is an "incredible platform to go racing with."

"Awesome cars always go racing," Hameedi added when questioned if the company is planning on racing the Focus RS or not.

Ford Focus RS' powerful engine is teamed with the company's Ford's torque-vectoring AWD system that makes it "almost entirely resistant to understeer."

According to autoexpress.co.uk, this hatchback's new all-wheel drive system "can generate in excess of 1G in cornering force" needed to handle its powerful mechanism. Because of this feature, caranddriver.com noted that the new RS will not have the RevoKnuckle front-suspension design.

How does this drivetrain work for Ford's new hatch that comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission? Citizen.co.za explained the "control unit in the rear drive continuously varies the front/rear and side-to-side torque distribution to suit the driving situation, monitoring inputs from multiple vehicle sensors 100 times per second. A maximum of 70% of the drive torque can be diverted to the rear axle. Up to 100% of the available torque at the rear axle can be sent to each rear wheel."
