Corgi Vanguard Ford Focus Mk3 RS Nitrous Blue VA15301 1:43 scale

Ford understand the reverence in which the RS badge is held and set out to make the Mk3 Focus RS the ultimate fast Ford. As soon as the first magazine road tests were published it was clear that they had achieved their goal. It had performance that could humble supercars costing twice as much yet it remained a practical 5-door hatchback that could easily be used as an everyday car. Highlights included four-wheel drive, launch control and a drift mode that created an internet sensation just after the car was launched in 2016 as stunt drivers and journalists battled to see who could drift a standard Focus RS in the most spectacular manner.

The resultant ebullient press coverage and bargain launch price of £31,000 meant the RS practically sold itself and was an instant classic.
