If ever there were a hot hatchback that could leave us here at Belk Ford Inc. flat-out floored, our esteemed American automaker's -- the 2017 Focus RS -- would have to be it.

Yet, what makes it so?

The clip below has the answer. Link up with AutoGuide.com Road Test Editor Dan Ilika to discover some of the Focus RS's top traits:

A shining example of Ford's mechanical mastery, the Focus RS's turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine is altogether out of this world.

Pairing with a six-speed manual transmission, this turbo-four produces a plenteous 350 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. An all-wheel drive system is standard across the range.

We're also very impressed by its ability to do the 0-to-60 mph dash, as the Focus RS can make the magic happen in just 4.7 seconds.

If you'd like to learn more about this top-flight transport, or wish to get behind the wheel of one, we encourage you to drop by our Oxford, MS dealership. Our automotive experts are ready to answer your every question about the Focus RS, or any other Ford model within the present portfolio.
