  • New Focus RS

    Just had an e-mail from Ford regarding the New Focus RS. (see below)

    The car is going to be driven by Marcus Gronholm on the Wales Rally GB this weekend



    Dear Mr Mackay,

    Thank you for visiting your Ford Dealer and putting your name on the waiting list for the sensational new Ford Focus RS.

    So you’re obviously serious about your choice of car. And you’d need to be – our professional test drivers testify that this is our most potent RS yet.

    I love cars myself. But compared to a true, hardcore RS enthusiast, my in-depth knowledge and real understanding of this extraordinary vehicle is bound to fall short of your own.

    I can tell you that it’ll generate 300PS and 440Nm of torque. That it’s a lighter, more agile front-wheel drive car—without unwanted steering disturbance or torque steer—thanks to its innovative ‘RevoKnuckle’ technology. And that, based on our testing, we're expecting an official 0-62mph of under 6 seconds.

    But you probably know all that already.

    That’s why I’d like to put you in direct touch with the real experts – the creators of the Focus RS themselves.
    Jost Capito, for example, is Director Ford Team RS. So there’s no one more qualified than him to tak about the car.

    In an exclusive Q&A session, you can find out from Jost exactly what you want to know, beyond what’s already been revealed in press releases and car magazines.

    We’ll film him answering as many of the questions we receive as possible, and email you when the video is online.
    Andhere’s another opportunity you can’t afford to miss: the Focus RS will be making its driving debut at the Wales Rally GB on Saturday 6th Dec

    You can find out more about the Wales Rally GB at the official Ford rally site: Ford rally site.

    I look forward to hearing your 'burning question' for Jost Capito and sending you more information about the Focus RS ahead of its much-anticipated launch.

        That's quite an interesting statement.

        "The car is going to be driven by Marcus Gronholm on the Wales Rally GB this weekend "

        He retired at the end of last year.

        Unless he's out spectating that is.

                    Was told by the Ford Dealer that they are not on a limited run (1500 have already had deposits paid without even driving or in most cases seeing the car ) and expected to sell over 8000 of them. Only 3 colours to choose from as well

                    The Carlisle Ford Dealer says that they are not even getting a discount for a Demonstrator
                    Cheers
