So surprising how stable the steering looks with what must be huge amounts of torque??

It goes well doesnt it. Doesnt look like any torque steer.

Matey in the passenger seat seems to be enjoying himself!

I'd like to know what it does down the 1/4

It's got syvecs ecu I'd assume it's plastered down the side of it, must have some traction control and cutting power as there's no way is that 700 hp with similar torque going to that steering wheel no way imo lol

Looks like fun though I like the look of them to

ajamesc

Sure looks to go well.

Mark Shead

It accelerates at 300hp in 1st 350 in 2nd 400 in 3rd 5004th 600 5th and 670 6th lol

Miss my MK2 so much!

Shame that this car shows, that money can't buy taste..

london_chris

that will explain the lack of torque steer then.

hardly a review, more like the passenger wetting himself with the slightest sniff of boost, and filmed on public roads at silly speeds and anti lag at a high street crossing..... etc etc.

ajamesc

Very true it dose look like it crashed into a rip speed display stand lol

gjh

This is making me want one, have to say the body isn't to my tastes but that engine note certainly is, as is the launch control feature. I'd want it blue though

Fullflush

I think its only 670 on ethanol

Looked a lot less in the videos. The 1/4 doesn't lie, particularly terminal speed. It should be pulling 140+

How much do they weigh?

iTrader: (4)

My thoughts exactly from watching that video lol, my gtr is around 700 hp upto 60 odd mph I think then it's full fat after that, I remember Ryan telling me something along them lines it saves the gearbox and always has 100% grip then if it's dry, if it's wet it's just silly traction control can't keep up

It might be quick but i think if it was parked up at a car show you would walk just past it.

Fullflush

I'd say 17-1900kg region?

I always look at terminal speed as a good yardstick on power

Hope he runs it soon!

jessie_rs

have to agree with that! Aesthetically its an acquired taste

Yes, the Syvecs Focus plug-and-play kit features torque biasing traction control, hence why it's controllable. I know Devil Developments has built one with nearly 800bhp now.

Why are people comparing a fiesta that's built for the strip. In the video he says it will be on the track this year. The big difference with this rs and any other is it will be driven there go on track then driven home in comfort. I would like to see it stripped to the bones and see what it would do. That spoiler will be creating some drag and needs to go as for the graphics I be bet he got a hefty discount in return for the advertising.

JasonPD

Looks like a right hoot, the vid is made all that much better by his mates reactions!

Personally I'd want it to be a little bit more stock on the outside..

frsjon

my fiesta is a track car lol me and rich fox(focus owner) both live on the isle of wight so its only for a laugh lol

I doubt it, I've never heard of Forge making internals for the T5. I rekon he's gone to SCC, thrown some money at them, they've told him you've now got forged internals and he's gone home and bought a forge sticker where he misheard them. A lot of people in the MK2 FRS have a 'whose cock's the biggest'/who's got the biggest wallet competition.

Not my cup of tea! Prefer mk1 frs all day. That thing looks like something out of max power😂
