All models have been engaged on a track battle, with the Car Throttle correspondent to showcase the cars` strong points and weaknesses. Take a look at each one`s driving capabilities and performance and then decide which to choose.

Starting with the Ford Focus RS, the model is considered a top notch amongst its class, coming with extraordinary performance, all squeezed from a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine with 350 horsepower which are sent to all four axles via a six-speed manual transmission. It is a fast and agile hot hatch that can pose serious threat to the M140i model from BMW.

Speaking about the BMW M140i, the hot hatchback packs a rear-wheel drive system which makes it perfect for drifting session out in the snow or rainy weather, especially if it is helped by an I6 turbocharged mill with 320 horsepower and a six-speed manual transmission. Thanks to the much more improved electronics, this lad here is faster than the Focus RS.

Finally, the Honda Civic Type R is well-known for its artistic capabilities on the track, coming with advanced aerodynamics and technology onboard. This one uses a 2.0-liter turbo flat-pot with 306 horsepower being sent to the rear via a six-speed manual transmission.
