A hybrid would be to expensive to develop I very much doubt we will get another frs tho think we will get a fiesta rs this time the focus has got too fat and got too many doors I'd love to be wrong tho

the new body is alot smoother and sleeker than the mk2, its almost like a coupe but it still has the aggressive stance. that photoshop is way off for a start they have obviously binned off the mk2 wheels.

I think that hybrid power will be be put it most cars pretty soon. There's a concept of Toyota Yaris R, which is supposed to have a power of a M3! Seen it in a magazine. Looks interesting.

Well I've been told its got 5 wheel drive, the 5th wheel is slap bang in the middle for better cornering. It will have 2.7 ton of batteries under it to power the 5th wheel and a 2.5 v6 for the other wheels.
3 Doors so the drivers side will have one door so you look cool while driving but the other side will have 2 doors so people can get in and out easy.
Got this from Ford today as i drove past so i know this is 100% true.
Wonder who ever read all this lol.

I heard Ford were evaluating a Focus with ecoboost engine powering the front wheels with a 'kerrs' type system electric rear wheel drive(four wheel drive) which is computer controlled depending on driver/road condition demand.
Not sure if it was to be badged as an 'RS'

It'll make sense for Ford to put the already confirmed 2.3t engine that's going in the Mustang in a Focus RS.
--Barb Samardzich, vice president of product development for Ford Europe said;
“There’s more room for more performance products across the range in the small, medium and large car segments,” said Samardzich. “A whole suite of such cars is what I have in mind. I’m noting there are two different kinds of customers — one for ST products, which are fun but have an everyday usability, and another, more racing-focused customer who wants an RS-type car. Evolving both alongside Mustang is complementary; the customers for one don’t necessarily want the other.”

If they are going to make a new Focus RS and give it the 2.3t as found in the new(2015?) Mustang, they will surely make it 4wheel drive. The Americans will eventually get a Focus RS, and we will surely end up with a Mustang of some sort. I forget the term I heard mentioned, but it was something like "world car" or something like that. I can see a Fiesta RS fwd, a Focus RS 4wd and a Mustang for the rear. They will be available to buy globally.
I hope this is the case anyway.

On a slight tangent does anyone know if we are also going to be getting a V8 version of the Mustang next year or are we only getting the 2.3t?
