the new FOCUS RS

[Aaron P.]

so has any1 seen it, I checked out an article in CAR magazine...it seems like it will be a good buy but for us in ireland it will be around €60k or so....but from what I read it looks like it will start of with 240bhp standard and you can buy add ons for it to make it 300bhp...i didnt see any mention of 4x4...

sorry forgot to add -my mate at fords said that the old model as
seen was made with 4-wheel drive like the wrc car but the timing
to produce it was wrong with the success of the st model so they
are going too revive the rs model and he said its definatley going
to be 4-wheel drive -wait and see

the article in CAR magazine says 2wd 6 speed semi sequential, and if the car in the article is anything to go by it looks pants ive had both focus rs and the new st, i hope its not an st with add ons

focus rs was unique and good enough to be called an rs.

in that article the guy said they dont like to complicate cars .............. so hey, lets fit twin turbos and a 1st-2nd torque piece of shite for the gearbox !!!!!!!!!

probably end up on the "TG cool wall" though

[lee bishop]

surely those pictures are of just a mule test bed for running gear etc, dont they try to disguise bodyshapes on new models??
