The 2016 Ford Focus RS is one of the most anticipated cars of this year. The 350 horsepower Uber Hot Hatch has auto enthusiasts around the world scrambling to Ford dealerships to place deposits to ensure they are part of the lucky few who get to own.


As for the rest of us, who are not fortunate enough to afford this $35,000 beast, there was a small glimmer of hope. At SEMA 2105 Ford raffled a Focus RS, tickets were $10, which was a bargain when compared to the MSRP.

The Focus RS up for raffle was modified by Ken Block, and was the world’s first modded Focus RS. The proceeds of this raffle went to JDRF, an organization focused on curing type 1 diabetes. In addition to helping a worthy cause, this raffle promised to change the life of one lucky auto enthusiast.


This lucky individual posted his story on FocusRSclub.com today and explained the chain of events that lead to his ownership. http://www.focusrsclub.com/forum/193-ford…

The best news is the car went to a genuine enthusiast, not somebody that would sell the car for profit. We may all be extremely jealous that we did not get a Focus RS for $10 but at least it went to a great home. Congratulations on your new car may it give you many miles of amusement.
