2016 Ford Focus RS

The Ford Focus RS is Ford’s darling Hot Hatch taking on the likes of the Volkswagen Golf, Honda Civic, and Renault Megane RS among others.

This is the second Ford Focus RS from Hot Wheels with the first RS based on the 2009 Focus and this new model based on the 2016 model. This particular model caught my eye because of the livery. I am a sucker for liveries. And this one came with Koni livery. You can’t go wrong slapping a high-performance part livery on a car that was meant to perform. And the graphics on this car complemented this look very well. Being a mass-produced Hot Wheels mainline model meant that Mattel was free to skimp on a few details though. And they did skimp. There are no headlights and taillights on this model. It is properly cast, but it neither comes with paint nor tampo. It’s a shame because this car comes with a white base color and having no details on either head or tail is just a missed opportunity to make this car great. The shape and the stance are good overall though and the black J5 wheels with red chrome accent fit the aura of the car nicely.
