New ford focus RS

[kripstoe]

Performance figures look good. I just cannot get used to how it looks.

For s***s and giggles:

Ford Focus RS
257kW @ 6000 r/min
440Nm @ 2000-4500 r/min

Golf R
206kW @ 5500-6200 r/min
380Nm @ 1800-5500 r/min

Guys I've said before; same as with the 'Stang thread; if you want me to stop posting RS & 'Stang goodness I will but then you have to settle with "Special/Limited Editions" of the Vivo & Corolla

July it is then. Getting scared on the price of this thing with the weak rand. Anyone interested in starting a cash-in-transit heist gang?

I've watch a fair bit of RS reviews & none of them have anything bad to say. It seems the new Focus RS is real deal & therefore better than the already good Civic Type-R.

Ford have gone bonkers with their prices now.
