This looks pretty good

I am just a bit disappointed
- 280 bhp and 2WD
- Flared wheel arches won’t be on the agenda as they were in the previous Focus RS

The only good thing is the price of about £3500 ahead of the ST entry price. I think it won't be as special and badass looking as the cossies used to be.

It looks good but Im a bit dissapointed with the specs, I mean even with the old one they promised it would have 300 BHP and 4 wheel drive.. :bah:

Anyway the Cozza will always remain as my favourite!

Haha, such is progress that 280hp for a Compact Sport car isn't enough these days .

Remember that the last generation M3 only had 333hp. Haha.

But this is slightly different. Ford is already selling a top-end hot hatch like the ST. The RS should be pointing higher, to the Evo-STi territory, and there's where you need more than 300hp and AWD

Exactly my point Dani!
