Default New Focus RS (Line green beast)

Hi guys ,

Is the new Focus RS (The lime green beast) being shown to the public during the British motor show?? Will this be open to the public? do you need tickets to see the RS Unveiling or will it just be on display

Any info will be appreciated

Regards
Peter

Firstly the New FRS isnt Lime Green - those pics are internal Ford photos over a year old that were not meant to have been leaked to the general public

Ford will be using the motorshow to show off a current prototype of the car

For info on the motorshow visit this website - www.britishmotorshow.co.uk/

Default Thanks guys

Hi Guys,

The question was asking whether the RS unveiling would be separate to the show, for Journalist , dealers, people who have put a deposit down (invite only people).

Thanks Alex RS that answered the question. (Ps I know that the lime green is a only prototype exercise, thank god!). I will be booking my tickets later today!.

To MR tangodeltasierra calling me a Mong , you don’t know me pal so keep you silly comments to yourself, no need to disrespect me!, I’m SURE you wouldn’t do it to my face so no need to do it here

Thanks
Peter

As far as i know the new FRS is being unveiled to a select group of people on the non public days so motoring journalists, etc, but will obviously be on show on Ford stand for the remainder of the public days

I know that there are also a limited number of people from the general public going to a seperate unveiling that was organised via another Focus RS forum & some of the commitee, FRS registrar, etc are going from the RSOC too

Sorry should have said i doubt the new FRS will be lime green - if ford cant make a 4x4 version of the RS i doubt they'll sell the car with paintjobs like that Would be nice to have a couple of lairy colours though to hark back to the classic mk1 & mk2 escorts

Lets hope they dont offer Asbo Orange as a colour option

Otherwise you can imagine the questions - "hows your Focus ST going then" & "oh so you decided to fit your ST with the bodykit from the RS then"

Why don't they just leave it in the traditional RS Imperial Blue.

Vinnvangough photoshopped a white one, red one black and blue just yesterday.




But no Ford, PLEASE not ASBO fucking orange.!!!!!!!

Ask a silly question & expect to get ripped. You really think Ford gunna launch the biggest car in decades for a day or 2 then hide it from joe public then ?

Default hi

Read above i clarified the question.... no need to rip me cos you don't know me , the question was perfectly logical. I guess some people need to feel macho by ripping others.. personally not my style
