The Ford Focus Mk 2 is a car manufactured by Ford from 2005 to 2010. It was launched at the Paris Motor Show on August 23, 2004 as a three and five-door hatchback and estate, even though the new car was previewed, in the form of a sedan 4-door, as the 'Concept Focus' developed by Ford Europe at the Beijing Motor Show in mid-2005.

Design and techniques
Mk 2, codenamed C307, uses the Ford C1 platform that is shared with Volvo S40, V50 and C70, Mazda3 and Focus C-MAX. Ford calls this platform sharing program "Global Shared Technologies".
The basic suspension design, which contributed a lot to the success of Mk 1, has been carried largely unchanged from its predecessor which, along with a 10% rigid bodyshell, offers Ford a better ride. The same body style as Mk 1 Focus is offered, although the saloon did not appear until mid-2005.
The Focus Mk 2 is much larger and much heavier than its predecessor with an increased wheelbase of 25 mm (1 inch), 168 mm (6.6 inches) longer, 8 mm (0.3 inches) taller, and 138 mm (5, 4 inches) wider. As a result, the interior and boot space are increasing. New technologies include the KeyFree system, reflective solar windshield, adaptive front lighting, Bluetooth hands-free phone, and voice control for audio, telephone and climate control systems.
It also comes with a 6-speed Durashift manual, a 4-speed Durashift automatic transmission, an all-new Durashift advanced manual transmission or just a standard manual.
In style, styling Mk 2 has the same design language found in Mondeo and Fiesta. Though still recognizable as the Focus, the new car uses the styling feature of the abandoned B-Proposal for original Focus that never reaches production.
The interior and dashboard follows from Mk 2 Mondeo and is built of higher quality plastic than before.

Availability
Focus Mk 2 is also built in Silverton, South Africa for export to Australia and New Zealand. But soon after launch, Ford New Zealand delivered its supply to meet Australia's high demand, and is now receiving vehicles from the German factory in Saarlouis. In 2006, Mk 2 made its debut in America with its launch in the Mexican market as a 4-door saloon or sporty 3-door trim ST. Mk 2 Focus is now available with the basic version of the Mk I model in several other markets around the world such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela. In Argentina, Mk 1 Focus was built side by side with Mk 2 at Pacheco Factory until 2008, when Mk 2 eventually replaced it.
In the US and Canada, the Mk 1 Focus is offered in a redesigned form both as a saloon or coupe, hatchback and wagon derived after the 2008 redesign. Sales of the coupe model are only a fraction of the previous 3-door hatchback, even though Saloon Focus sales and compact cars increasing in general.
Security

The 1,4 L and 1,6 L all Zetec-SE (codenamed Sigma) engine from the previous generation Focus was greatly enhanced and named Duratec, with the addition of 1.6 L Duratec Ti-VCT engine with valve timing variables. For the South African market, inline-four 1.6L BZ machines are used in their Mk2. For the 2009 facelift it was replaced by 1.8 Duratec.

Motorsport
Focus RS WRC is a version built for Ford's World Rally Team by Ford and M-Sport, which was developed to compete in the World Rally Championship. RS stands for Rallye Sport and WRC for World Rally Car , the FIA ​​specification of the car.
Like all contemporary World Car Rallies, this car is heavily modified from the production version, which only shares the basic shapes and some bodyshell sections. This car has a four-wheel drive feature, not the front wheel drive from the road car. The engine used in the 2007 Focus WRC is based on Ford 2.0 Liter Duratec from other models in the Focus range because the rally rules do not allow standard 2.5 Liter engines from Focus ST or RS road. Like most rally cars, the 2.0 Liter engine is highly modified and performance is improved using a turbocharger. Also Ford Focus WRC 2009 uses Ford 1998cc Pipo built with Duratec WRC l4 engine (Four Cylinders, 16 Valves, 85 mm Bore and 88 mm Stroke), Pi electronic engine management system, Garrett Turbocharger (with 34 mm inlet divider), air intercooler, and catalytic converter.
From the last rally of the 2005 season, Ford campaigned a new model, Focus RS WRC 06, after the launch of a new road car version. The engine chosen for this Focus is the Duratec motor developed by the French engine specialist Pipo Moteur. The car took twelve world rally victories, starting with the 2006 Monte Carlo Rally season opener at the hands of Marcus GrÃÆ'¶nholm.
The Focus RS WRC 07 is based on the 2006 model, and according to Ford technical director Christian Loriaux "changes to new cars primarily to save weight and to improve efficiency, drive and performance at the bottom of the range." The car made its debut with great success at the Finnish Rally in 2007 when Ford Finns GrÃÆ'¶nholm and Mikko Hirvonen finished first and second. It then made history in the 2008 Swedish Rally when Jari-Matti Latvala used his car to become the youngest rider ever to win a world rally.
The Focus RS WRC 08 is based on the 2007 model, the Ford Focus WRC 08 seen here for the first time with a new front aero design at Rallye Deutschland 2008 Shakedown. This is the first time Hirvonen and Latvala are driving 08 cars with new front styling.
The 2008 version of the Focus RS WRC includes design style changes as well as engine improvements. The styling changes on the grille area reflect the appearance of the newly previewed Focus RS Mk II sports car.
The RS WRC Focus rally car won four times in 2008 and has 36 WRC wins to its credit since the original model debuted in 1999.
The actual 2009 version of the Focus RS WRC includes a small design style change.
