OK i'm just a little confused. The new focus rs is supposed to be a tuned 2.5L. whats confusing me is why don't they just use the new SI6 engine that is in the new volvo V70. It develops 285bhp and is a six cyclinder engine.

Apparently there is also a high pressure turbo T6 engine that has 350bhp.

I would like to think that they would make this RS a 3.0L Six Cyclinder turbo with AWD. Maybe we're in for a suprise. I'm don't believe that ford will make a 280bhp RS when the Focus ST will now gets 260bhp as standard.

we have to remember that all this talk about it not being 4wd and still a 2.5L is word from all the presses mouths. Ford hasnt confirmed anything about the spec which make it more exciting.

touch wood that they will go with the original spec which is the six cyclinder engine and AWD. My student loan is being saved for this bastard, so it'd better be good.
