If you're a Michigander, you are very familiar with spinouts, especially during the winter months. But, what if your vehicle could predict a spinout moments before it happened? Well, Ford decided to make this possible for future drivers. The new Ford Focus RS will feature a new stability control technology that will actively determine when a car meets conditions that may lead to a spinout and help to prevent the driver from losing control.
Here is how it works. The technology detects the vehicle's speed, steering wheel position, and turn rate of the steering wheel to determine if a potential skid is on the horizon. If the vehicle identifies a risk, the brakes are applied to the individual wheels to help the driver keep control of the vehicle and stay on the road. The "recovery process" offered by this transitional stability system is put into motion at an incredibly rapid pace, resulting in smoother, refined control.
The new Ford Focus RS will feature a new stability control technology that combines real-time data from sensors placed throughout the vehicle to predict potential spinouts roughly 100 to 200 milliseconds before they occur. This technology will be a standard on the Focus and is just one of the several control innovations that Ford has developed to improve driving dynamics on the latest Ford Focus RS model.
