Default Limited Edtion Focus Rs & New Focus Rs article in Auto Express

It looks like Ford are releasing a stripped out version which will be limited to 500 units with a power output of 350 bhp,called a clubsport

Then in 3 years time there will be a hybrid 4wd Foucus RS Focus which will have a 2.0 litre turbno engine driving the front wheels and a electric motor driving the rear wheels.

So anyone else see the article and do you think it will the the clubsport will sell ?

A 4x4 focus would be cool,especially if it was wrc derived.

Errr... I hope you didn't miss the "hybrid"-bit.

It will probably be set up like those Lexus SUVs. Shitty FWD + electric engine in the back. Certainly not a sporty car as it will weigh 3 tons.... Something for the tree-huggers, me thinks...
