They really need to do an RS now they have achieved this. But as mentioned, no money

I would actually like to see a Mondeo RS personally, I think it could be fantastic. Maybe even a short wheelbase 2/3 door version. That would be awesome.

Seeing as the WRC car is a Focus though, that's going to be the car that gets the makeover if they do decide to do anything special. I hope they do, would be good to see.

On a related note, what drivetrain do the WRC cars run?

They run the engine transverse then hooked up to the 4x4 system, like an Evo runs.
