True RS is followed by the name ''COSWORTH''
Utter shat, plenty of RS's dont have a cosworth badge, including the best three

RS1600
RS1800
RS200



You can bet that Cosworth have had their input into the engine with this one too.

Having being in a BMW for a few years now and my last fast ford being a 4x4 Cosworth - the new Focus RS ticks all the right boxes for me to get me back into the Ford brand - Give it a couple of years and one will be parked in my workshop

Stunning car in a climate that dictates what manufactureres don't make its good to see that Ford are still sticking their neck out and producing something that little bit special

That's what I'm getting at too. Equates to the same torque figure as the RS nearly.

And also re: Cosworth badged RS's are the only proper ones...

I went my local dealership the other day to buy parts for the old man's BMW and went into the showroom and had a look around. The 335i M Sport coupe is absolutely sex on wheels. Sat in it as well and it proper feels like something special even though it isn't an M3 and that engine in that is probably an absolutely fantastic mix of style, performance, comfort and luxury. I hate the 1 series. 335i is the one to have with that engine IMHO.

Lots of people also like Animal sex, doesn't make them right The 1 series coupe is a good car, and has "cult classic" written all over it. Though it lacks a proper LSD for reasons i have no idea.

Nice Concept they made a while back. Nothing on this is unsaleable so maybe...





Check the calipers.



But so long as BMW make M3's and M5's it probably isn't the best car on the production line
