The new and more powerful, limited-edition Focus RS500 model was launched as the ultimate performance Ford to provide the definitive driving experience for serious performance car enthusiasts. The new model was given the RS500 designation to highlight its strictly limited production run of 500 individually-numbered vehicles and featured a muscular 345bhp, 2.5-litre, five-cylinder engine, which generated 15% more power than the standard Focus RS and delivered truly exhilarating performance. In the raw, the RS looked a touch menacing with its gaping grille, 19’’ wheels, flared arches, deep diffuser, large rear wing, and left you in no doubt about its intentions. However the limited-edition RS500 is even more dramatic, sporting a unique matt black finish with matching alloy wheels and delivering a powerful visual impact unmatched by any other production Ford. The last of these remarkable vehicles left Ford’s Assembly Plant in Germany during September 2010. Offered here is number 035 of the 500 built and it was first registered in the UK on 3rd August 2010, upgraded with Lux-Pack 2 including Sat-Nav and rear view camera. It’s a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example, one of 101 allocated to the UK market and had covered just 38,365 miles at the time of cataloguing. Our vendor is the car’s only owner and we are informed that the RS has been dry stored in his garage from new. He decided to upgrade his RS with Mountune performance parts (as they are Ford approved and didn’t affect his warranty) including Sports Exhaust and inlet plenum, however, the original parts are included in the sale, so that a future owner has the option to replace. Within the car’s history file is the current V5C and the original service book confirming that the RS has been regularly maintained by the local Ford dealership with 12 supporting stamps displayed. In addition to the comprehensive service history, the car is supplied with two sets of keys the appropriate private registration plate displaying the Cherished Registration, X500 LTD, which will remain on the car and forms part of the sale. Every RS500 was sold even before a single customer had a chance to drive one, a fact that speaks volumes about the RS500’s status as a future classic, and this is a special opportunity to own a rare, single- ownership, Mountune-enhanced RS500 and join a rather exclusive club. *The winning bidder will need to have the original exhaust collected from the vendor’s address subject to cleared funds - contact Steven Keen (the Consignor) for further details. Fresh to market from its single private owner, this highly collectable Focus RS500 is one of just 500 limited examples manufactured with just 110 in right-hand drive.
