Default 2009 Focus RS



Bit of a review including more pictures.

I know it is not for sale in the NA market...which is a shame really but I can not wait to have a decent look at one of these. The pictures of it look great. And I would love to see how it manages to get the 296hp and 301ftlbs down to the tarmac through the front wheels.

Of course it's not for sale in the NA market. It's a good performing car beside a Mustang [8D]
Only think I don't like is front grill. Too much "open black". Looks like its trying to eat something
I'd get a different paint colour too. Otherwise not too bad. Those Focus ST's with the 5cyl turbos were cool too.

I'd definitely buy that. 302 hp from a car that good looking. Why the hell not?

If it is half as good as the ST in regards to mods and how easy it is to get power. You can expect some 400hp versions to be on the road weeks after it launches. The old ST225 (222hp) jumped to 280ish with just a tune.

they need to release that in the US market... get some credibility back..

that car is great looking and performance looks very promising.. EVO & STI look out.

I agree that the front is to open, it does look like its trying to eat something. But we NEED something like this in the US to destroy the import crap.

Think that's kind of the point...I mean you see it coming up behind you and it looks like its about to take a chunk out of the rear of your car you move into a slower lane. All part of the aggressive look.

Add some ears on it and it might look a bit like a pissed off Poodle.
