For decades, the Ford Focus RS held a coveted spot in automotive lore as one of the most premiere of hot hatches. Now, it's coming back in 2016 with more goodies than ever before, and Ford is keen to share its development and testing journey with us. To do that, they've put out the "Rebirth of an Icon" series.

The spec sheet is intimidating enough: 345 horsepower directed to all four wheels, with state-of-the-art tech such as EcoBoost and Dynamic Torque Vectoring offering a solid, dynamic drive. Now, let's have a look at how it handles a 1,000 mile test gauntlet.
