I think that's where the bf is off to right now lol He's not even got the car he's replacing his current one with (Fiesta ST) yet and he's already planning this as its replacement (he's waiting on a Megane R26)

Lad on the vauxhall forums I use has driven the same engine spec that is going on the new RS, and says its fantastic, smallish turbo (still the standard one IIRC) with big boost low down means it picks up very well.
Should be an interesting car, and will hopefully put ford back in competition with vauxhall who are currently handing them their arse bigstyle in the performance stakes!

Testing the future
tempting to put a deposit down and have a punt on one with a view to reselling immediately if demand is high and supply short. could be a few quid in it

Exactly- you underestimate the power of the RS...

Thought stock ST's struggled with their ATC due to the small intercooler. Surely this will have to be upgraded on the new ''RS''. Altho the changes listed did not include it.
