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 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, Sirius XM 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 ft-lb of torque, and a button for Drift Mode.
