Official Focus RS Photos & Details Released

Much more subtle than the speculated renderings. I like it either way.

Have you ever driven a car above 200 bhp and FWD??? What could you possibly like in this car. It'll redefine the term "understeer"... They had such a good 4WD cars in the past... I don't think the LSD will help with such power and torque.

trespasser... um, have you ever driven a mazdaspeed 3?

they are crazy,how can they put FWD on a car with 280 hp and 400 nm,.....i hope for an 4wd to challenge an audi s3 or even new wrx sti, evo x...i dont think they will have a succes with this car,i was thinking for 4wd haldex from volvo ...this is a bad news and far as i know this is the only fwd with such power and torque from the factory.

It doesn't have to be that way. This car can be faster than the competition even with FWD. Autodelta Alfa Romeo 147 GTAm has over 300 hp from 3.7 liter engine and has a FWD. They also made a 156 with so much power. Alfa Romeo 147 GTA has 250 hp from 3.2 engine and FWD. I' ve seen a TV show like Top Gear or something, where they tested it against RS, Golf R32, Audi S3 and is faster than all of them, and I think the R32 has a 4x4. Now the Autodelta Alfa 147 with over 300 hp is faster around the same track than the 4x4 Impreza, M3... Check out the end of the video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPxeouwzIM8

some days ago they made RS Cossie. Now they want to sell this sh1t.

i saw top gear with these alfa but the problem is ford focus rs is turbo so i dont think alfa 147 gtam have the same torque 400 nm like focus rs because it have an non turbo engine,also the fun to drive an 4wd is lost,and autodelta i think is a limited edition just for UK.anyway the focus rs looks great ,thats it..

I've driven VW Golf GTI mk5 with small modifications. And I can tell you it sucks in corners when you push it hard... The combination of f.cked up balance and a lot of torque/power means nothing but bad handling. I don't argue with anybody that this car will handle good for its FWD and massive power, but compared to something similar with 4WD it will suck! It depends what kind of experience you have, but I think it should be obvious for everybody that this concept (FWD and 250 bhp ++) is not normal.

Sheer awesome-ness. Bring it into production asap!

That is a damn nice Euro-hot hatch...they ought to build it as is. Should be a very fast car, even with FWD...there will be ways to keep this power in check, guaranteed.
