I think he might be telling porkies, unless he's pretty close with Ford.

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

scottyfocus

my uncle works for ford is currently helping with the design for the frs, all in early stages atm but its 3 door and fwd, 335 to 350 bhp. Will have a diff + torque vectoring like in the ST

scottyfocus

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.

Carlos-Titx

I heard that ages ago about it being a hybrid but probably a load of shite.

Oranoco

They're doing a new shell solely for the Rs?

He did look like a piece of wood actually yes lol.It was just chit chat I was delivery to the place where this rs was.i thought errm that's nice went over for a look and the owner of the car came out and that's how he started talking about the new rs

pixellcraig

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.

Eigdoog

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.

pcbp97

new rs focus due in 2017

Maxwell

My mate used to jokingly say about converting a sierra xr4x4 to an xr4x5 (a custom shaft to the spare wheel) lol

With todays bullshit, you would never know what malakite the manufacturers would produce!!!

Maxwell

You say that with confidence. Back your claim up!

ste1806

I think the guy had read this http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/ford/fo...s-new-rs-twins

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'

Nobody knows anything and if they do they won't post it on here if they value their job at Ford.

Not that the article being nearly 4 years old matters eh?

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.

STAFFY OWNER

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?

Carlos-Titx

Just the 2.3 remembering what the 3 stooges said on top gear.

Cossie Sean

i will ask my mates working at Dunton,

cant guarantee owt but i will ask regardless
