The Ford Focus RS WRC, queen of rallies
Launched in 2003, the Ford Focus RS WRC represents the culmination of Ford's commitment to rallying. This competition version of the second generation Focus was developed by the M-Sport team, Ford's official partner in the World Championship. The 2006 version featured significant technical evolutions compared to the earlier models, particularly in aerodynamics and chassis.
This rally car was equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing around 300 horsepower, coupled with a sophisticated all-wheel drive transmission. Its tubular chassis and lightweight body allowed it to tackle all types of terrain with remarkable efficiency.
The Focus RS WRC achieved numerous victories and helped maintain Ford at the highest level of world rallying, establishing itself as a technical benchmark in the WRC category.
Ford in the 2000s: rally expertise
In the mid-2000s, Ford was undergoing a period of renewal under new leadership. The blue oval brand was banking on motorsport to restore its image, particularly in rallying where it had excelled since the 1970s with its Escort RS.
Its commitment in WRC with the Focus RS represented a major investment for Ford, which aimed to demonstrate its technical capabilities and expertise in high-performance vehicles. This strategy was part of a broader approach to reposition Ford as a dynamic and innovative brand, capable of competing with its European rivals on the most challenging terrains.
Monte-Carlo 2006: an anthology rally
The Monte-Carlo Rally 2006 will be remembered as one of the most spectacular of the decade. This legendary event, held on the winding roads of the Alpes-Maritimes and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, provided an extraordinary spectacle for rally enthusiasts.
The Ford Focus RS WRC number 3 operated under particularly difficult conditions, alternating between dry sections and icy stretches typical of the "Monte." This legendary rally, known for its weather traps, requires drivers to constantly adapt and make crucial tire choices.
The 2006 edition was marked by dramatic twists and significant retirements, confirming Monte-Carlo's reputation as the most unpredictable rally on the WRC calendar. The Ford teams particularly shone that year, demonstrating the exceptional versatility of their Focus RS WRC on this unique playground in the world.
This race remains a symbol of the golden age of modern rallying, where technology and human talent combined to deliver moments of pure emotion on the most beautiful and dangerous roads in Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
How is my package protected during transport?
