Default New Ford Focus RS

Hi

So then, the new Ford Focus RS, 300hp on the front wheels, im in doubt. Can any owners comment or people who have had the chance to drive the car on the revo nuckle or whatever it's called thing. A technical explanation of how this new technology is supposed to reduce torque steer. I have been told, that there is still alot of it but it could be worse. Wondering how effective this really is..

Revoknuckle isn't for reducing torque steer, its for providing a more positive meathod of putting alot of power through the front wheels.
It is said to reduce it and from watching top gear it didn't look "too bad"
compared to the mk1 Focus RS, which if he'd let go of the wheel would have killed him! lol
But the point in the Revoknuckle system is power transfer,not to reduce torque steer.

Had a test drive of one the other day and it was really surprising. The power delivery working through the revo-knuckle was fantastic. It held thew power down brilliantly. As for the torque steer it is still there.
OVerall it is a very good car and the new system is very good.
