Also you don't need AWD, been proved on the mk2 FRS and if it is then will probs be the volvo polestar awd system on the C30 400bhp concept but then you looking at a Focus well over £40k
The pictures in the first link are genuine as the car was shown at the Detroit Motorshow and will be on sale in 2011 with a ST being in the range within a few months of release.
The RS is a photoshopped. Everyone says AWD is not needed but proof is proof and it does torque steer as power is increased. And they always say the RS needs a racing link. Well if they want a racing link, give us a 2L AWD and lets see Ford give Subaru and Mitsubishi a run for their money. But we won't get that cos 'Ford' don't have any bollocks.
Who cares if the Focus is 40k? They just proved it'll sell for 30K and 36K. Pretty sure there are people who will spend 40K on something that can slay most the competition.
