First up is the Focus RS, packing a 350 hp turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder with 350 lb-ft of torque and it’s paired with Ford’s new AWD system. Going up against the RS is the M2 coupe with a 365hp turbocharged 3.0-litre straight six engine.You can have all the fun of a rear wheel drive car when going into turns without the need to worry about adjusting the steering or balancing the throttle. The AWD system will kick in and pull the car straight once you’re out of a turn. Delivering exceptional braking power are the Brembo brakes that Ford says will last you 30 minutes with hard track use before they fade.In comparison, the M2 has an extra 15 hp and it has a better 0 to 62mph sprint time of 4.3 seconds which is .4s faster than the RS’ 4.7 seconds. The M2 is also a tad lighter overall and it has the better lap time of 46.7s compared to the Focus RS’ 46.8s but, this doesn’t mean that it’s better. The BMW M2 only has three drive modes, the brakes are effective but they don’t have the same feel as the RS Brembo, and it costs a great deal more than the Focus RS.
