Warley, Essex - This week's episode goes from the Geneva Motor Show to the icy lakes of Sweden, with the engineering team under pressure to improve performance. The new Ford Focus RS, due in South Africa during the first half of 2016, has a specially uprated version of Ford's 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine that's rated at 258kW driving all four wheels, taking it from 0-100km/h in 4.7 seconds - and this is the story of 'how they did it'.
