Possibly a prototype/demo car?

There not out till next year.

Looks quite funky though. Get your name down PC!

That'll be a Pre-production or Press demo Focus RS.
It's the current MK2 shape not the next generation MK3 shape.
It's not one of the the test mules that have been seen before as there is no roll cage.
Note the badge blacked out on grill.

I know of the guy who took the real pics. Shame that the whole world seems to want to claim they took them!

Some new pics that appeared on the RSOC forum today

Excellent PR from Ford - parking illegally in a disabled only space

Yeah true. I want the new Focus RS to be more expensive, and slower too.
