I know they are supposed to have a 4x4 transmission, but it looks like a jeep with that stance IMO - especially at the front.

Will be interesting to read the reviews on it when it arrives - should be good!

4x4, since when? It's the same ride height as a stock RS. Does look high in sone of those pics though.

the difference is:

matt black vinyl
red interior
few new badges
alloys painted black
callipers painted red
a few more bhp

not bad for an extra 7-8k over standard rs lol.

Hope you're are being sarcastic

But that trully is a nice car in black, but I'd rather get a normal RS and get it all painted in black, be much cheaper along with a few goodies to push the power way over that

Is that a Fiat 500 badge? Sits very high at the front in my opinion.

Neither of the above detract from the fact that is one very good looking car!

looks kinda odd at some angles there imo , a little 'lardy' shall we say! Never the less i do like the side on pic , not sure what i was expecting tbh but well done Ford another icon in the making. Not a scratch on the original but i cant wait to see one in the flesh.

Quite a few more. Official figures say 45bhp more, but I'd wager it was more like 60 more.

i know but how much would it cost to get an extra 45bhp out of a standard focus rs.

i realy like the car but i think ford got their prioritys wrong with making a "special" car.
