Focus RS was originally a FWD car
Latest RS design to embrace AWD
RS feature included in an AWD product to promote an inherent quality of RWD cars.
Drift mode
This threads recent discussions probably mimic what Fords design engineers may have went through concerning what drive mode it would pursue.

I can see "drift mode" simply disabling the nannies, and making haldex and rear diff more aggressive/proactive to inputs, possibly even running a rear power bias.

So all the Ford engineers sitting around the table and one said, " Hey let's install drift mode in an AWD car." Personally I think it was probably laughed at but then the Ford came on. So the argument as to whether or not FWD is better or RWD is better then AWD. Ford has had it all on the table I am sure with this car.

so all RS really means is a high performance model, going off Fords history with it, they don't have to stick to any drive train configuration

the first Focus RS was fwd, sure, but RS doesn't mean FWD. in the 90's europe had the Escort RS which was AWD, and before that they had RWD RS models...
