    We have heard the confirmation of a Ford Focus RS model, and we have seen the teaser pics floating around. But we have the information that we have anything physical to go, a tire thread, a wheel, what? Nope. We have this photograph. Plus the teaser image, which have already been published.

    London Motor Show in July is the place to be if you want to check the details. Of course, some time before then WCF would have delivered technical specifications, as usual. But now we are on crumbs thrown down insiders from the engineering “at the table, primarily the Ford Focus RS will not 4WD, but front-wheel-drive. That alone is probably enough to make it a Mazda3 MPS rivals more than a Subaru STI enemy. But wait, there’s more. Looks like we are coming to less than 300 hp - 280 hp speculated on this one, it is certainly much, but also places STI 300 horses on the back, with an additional 8 Horses just in case.

    I love that car Nevin. I saw a similar model in Thailand last month and thought is was pretty cool. I like the looks of the Focus's in the WRC. They are a completely different car in Europe...and Thailand!

    Was it this one? After seeing that video that would be a blast have and modify the hell out of it! Although, I would get something without traction control or ABS.
