help identify this type of focus
This may seem like a stupid question to all of you, but it is dificult to get information on european models over here in the United States. Could you fill me in on what type of focus this is? Someone told me it was a Focus RS Cosworth, but I don't know if that is correct. If anyone could suggest where to get this front bumper that would be great too. If I can get my hands on one, I'll be putting the wide RS body on my supercharged SVT. Thanks!

The more I search the more it seems like it was an early concept that was made before the FRS. Looks like they just called a Focus Cosworth. But still any input would be appreciated.

Well Ford doesn't sell anything like that. But there is a company that sells a conversion kit for it. I know someone that has one. It is cool because it sounds and feels like a muscle car. But I'd much rather have a YB because you can make more power and it is much lighter.

The RS8 wasn't a concept
It was built using some parts from Kugel and other parts made for Ford, rear suspension and part of the steering was different to the Kugel kit.
It was built to showcase the new Cammer V8 which was developed for aftermarket use, not for production cars.
The RS8 was never intended as a road legal car to be sold by Ford. I believe 2 were built and they were only ever demonstrated on offroad circuits.

FRPP had the kugel kit available at one time but I believe nobody was buying them so they discontinued them. As far as I know Kugel has disconed the kit also.
As for the car in question it almost looks like a WRC replica kit that has been customized.
