i saw the pictures for the new focus rs a few moths back
why are they not running 4x4 if they aim to have power at around 290 bhp!?
could have sworn ford said they had bulit the new focus' chassy to accomodate 4x4 if they were ever to make such a model!??

Was that the black one with the TDCi badge on the back??

other pics here too.. http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsGa...L=-1&IM=112828

but they look like a photoshop to me, the lighting and reflections just dont sit right, and the wheels look well odd

Here's the black one, 4Car reckon it's an RS. Though it has ST badges on the back as well as a TDCi badge....possible red herring though

None of the published pics are official, that blue one is a blatent photoshop if you look properly. Never gonna happen imo.

Oh yes it is! I've seen one in the flesh... Advantage at working at Fords. You'll have to wait.

James

how do you explain this?

us goverment conspiracy

You fell for the same sales pitch. We're never gonna build it, then a few months later... Same old story. New RS Focus looks awesome, 300bhp standard.

James

sooo telling people they won't build it is good sales pitch is it? how? surely everyone is going to buy a vauxhall, subaru, evo etc

I'd need to see it to believe it, and i'd be surpirsed if Fords will do that whilst the ST is in production, if at all.

There was the same hype with the new Fiesta 'RS', but that never happened !

As has been said, Ford are in all kinds of finacial shit and building an RS is not going to make them money. They're also big on going green at the mo and that will be sure to nail the coffin for the RS.
