Hot hatches are great; really hot hatches are even better...
The A45 is so super it’s hard not to believe this was a series production car and not some wild homologation special, built solely satisfy some FIA regs before blasting the competition to smithereens. Sure, these days even 360hp in a family hatch doesn’t raise too many eyebrows, but in 2015, when this car was built, it was something quite special. That said, they ramped it up to 381hp for the next model year, but we couldn’t find one of those for the money. Still, 360hp buys you 0-62mph in 4.
That little lot is fed through a four-wheel drive system, which normally doesn’t say ‘Fun’ with a capital ‘F’, but get yourself behind the wheel of this Nitrous Blue, 81,000-mile Focus RS and it’s almost guaranteed to bring back the kid in you. Why? Well, engage Sport mode and the 2.3-litre Ecoboost's pops and splutters come with an ASBO attached. Launch control sounds pure WRC-manic. And if that’s not enough to make you smile, there’s the Drift mode.
