Looks like a semi-broken Ford website, right? Go ahead and click through to the 2016 Ford Focus section-as of this writing, you can configure a 2016 Ford Focus RS on a website we're pretty sure Ford didn't want you to see. There you'll find that the RS starts at $36,605 including destination and delivery fees.
First discovered by commenters at Jalopnik, the configurator site seems to be a half-built page not meant for public consumption. But while some images and links are broken, the ones we're interested in all seem to work-namely, the ones that let us click into the Ford Focus subpage and select the RS trim level, with the listed base price of $35,730 and $875 for destination and delivery.
According to the site, the Focus RS comes stock with 18-inch painted aluminum wheels; the upgrade to 19-inch painted forged alloys will set you back $1395, while selecting those 19s wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires runs $1990. To our eyes, $595 ain't bad for a set of Michelin Cups considering they typically run more than $350 each.
Inside, a 10-speaker Sony stereo and partial leather Recaros are standard equipment. Black leather and microsuede upholstery comes as part of the $2785 RS2 package, an option group whose description wasn't fully populated at time of writing, but which seems to include voice-activated navigation, SiriusXM Traffic, and Travel Link. A power moonroof costs $895. Other option subpages, like Packages and Accessories, were nonfunctional at the time of publication.
If you ask us, $36,605-provided that's the actual price-seems like a fair deal for an all-wheel-drive, rally-inspired superhatch with 345 horses, 325 lb-ft of torque, and a button for Drift Mode.
