Ford announces the all-new Ford Performance Drift Stick, the first-ever, rally-inspired electronic handbrake, developed and designed for Focus RS and approved by rally and stunt star Ken Bock.

The Drift Stick – internally called Project Wicked Stick and led by Ford Performance program manager John Wicks – was born out of the Focus RS industry-first Drift Mode and developed by the same team.

The Drift Stick is an aluminum lever between the driver’s seat and manual transmission, which uses the innovative Ford Performance all-wheel-drive system in conjunction with the antilock braking system, opening up the rear-drive unit clutches and applying hydraulic pressure to lock the rear wheels to induce drift with the simple pull of a lever. The results are clutch-free drift turns very similar to the experience of a real rally car.

Hello, if I will use this handbrake in mode "race track", it will be same function? Or drift stick works only in drift mode?

I couldn't help but notice this RS' display is showing what is apparently a 24 mpg rating on its dash. This car is of course brand new. If anyone can find a Focus RS that'd been owned more than a few weeks with a dash display showing it is averaging 24 mpg my hat is off to them. I love my RS but to get my dash to show anywhere near 24 mpg average would probably require me driving only downhill in Normal mode for 3 months.

The RS is quite fun to drive but a Mustang Mach-E is looking all the more appealing as I get older...
