I just came back from a Italian car & bike show at Vesuvio's in Bedford I just happen to drive past the bedford river and saw this black Focus RS and got me puzzled I pull over and had a good look and it looked just like the real deal but they only made them in three different colours and one of them wasn't black can any one shed some light on this one.





And a few pics of my beast.





I took some stunning pictures from the Italian car show here's jus ta few pics as I have too many to put up.



I think this Ferrari 458 cab stole the show I was parked next to it.







This is Franco Russo's Ferrari he was in that progamme Come Dine With Me in Bedford if any one remember's watching it.


This Ferrari 599 GTO looked amazing in real life, pure evil beast.





And this was the was the second Ford car I saw an ST

Looks better than the black wrap shite.

The matt black wrap has been peeled off the focus most likely. 599 GTO looks feckin huge.

Is it not a 500 or a le manns edition

ford painted RS500's black, then had the matt black wrap put on, someone peeled it all off to find the black paint under it

There was no RS 500 badge at the back and the brake cailpers are not in red like the rs 500 that's why I'm still confused.

Maybe an ST-3 facelift with the rs body kit on?

Prob just a ST with rs parts.

It could be Mountunes development car, They had a black RS to test the mp350 kit which later was used in the RS500 production run. Although I'm nearly sure it was LHD.

Edit; Now that I think about it why would you build a full rs rep? It would involve welding in the rear quarters, widening the track respraying the entire car. It looks like it has RS brakes the intercooler too. For the cost you could have bought a real one and why spray it black when you could have it a proper RS colour? And why over look the headlights?

It seems very likely that someone bought a damaged rs and repaired it and resprayed it black. It would explain why it has standard focus lights in it as they would be cheaper and probably got second hand. The panther black respray would be cheaper too which would fit in with the whole cheap repaired RS theme.

Can't find that reg number on the focus

They look nice in black.

Like said it's most likely Focus RS mk2 which has been re-sprayed to Panther Black. It's the easiest way to make one...

jonyb4

unwrapping a 500 (which would remove the badge at same time) and is it really that hard to paint a pair of calipers?

seems more likely than a badged up st, and resprayed rs imo

Comes back as not insured on th MID

That looked a sexy show!

Side note, your S2 would be SPOT ON without the M3 mirrors & badboy bonnet, just sayin...
