Destined for the North American market, the 2016 Ford Focus RS has leaked ahead of its official debut.

Sporting an aggressive design, the hot hatch is being rumored to sport a torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system with the capability of going 0-60 mph in under five seconds. EVO reports that the Focus RS will be powered by a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, the same engine found in the new Mustang.

Several reports of horsepower ratings are floating around, reporting anywhere from 300 to 350-hp.

Rumored pricing for the new Focus RS is $37,850.
