That prototype RS will be on normal road tyres (and as previously stated maybe not even the full 300 horses). I'm sure Ford were intending on using road legal slicks when attempting to break the R26.Rs record attempt anyway.

Considdering i'd like the opportunity to go for a drive with more than just one friend, i know what car i'd rather have, and thats the car that will be sitting on my drive in the next month.

As a writer from a magazine said, is you want the best family hot hatch, get the Focus RS. If you want the best drivers car, don't have friends.
