Focus RS: More Details

[MikeyK18]

Not keen TBH, my dad has the original one, prefer it TBH.

For that money, i would prefer the R26R TBH. Its quicker round the ring :rasp:

I think the main thing here is that they keep demand high and supply low thus making for better residual values.

I dare say that if the last 20 years of fast fords are anything to go by then these should hold there value pretty well

 

[MikeyK18]

Hopefully, mind you seeing as they are making it a production car and not a limited edition model i hope it doesnt make them stale with having too many about.

5000 to be made per year

(was reported before the credit crunch tho so who knows lol)

 

[Christophe]

prefer the older one.

 

[RichCup]

Looks awesome! Spoiler looks a bit 'stuck on' from that angle tho.

 

[Ian_182]

I would have to have green i think,just to make it stand out

 

[Scutch]

I really like it, but then the Focus ST (especially the 2008 ST3) has really grown on me, too.

Not many hatches will beat the look of the originally Focus RS, though, but I'm sure this one will put it in its place, given a bit of time and acceptance of it.

I think Green might be a bit too "look at me" but then saying that, White seems to have the same effect these days. Even so, it would have to be one of the two, as Blue would just be too common, IMO.

 

[R20 CWH]

proper p**n. boy i know in the gym has cancelled his order, but wont get deposit back unless they or he find someone to take it over.

hmm i should take it off his hands :rasp:

 

[Ian_182]

Would be a bit nicer than the derv

 

[Merk]

I can't stand people calling this a hot hatch.

It's a rally car for the road.... RS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?



Crap, just as expensive version of a scooby or evo if you ask me.

 

[Craig]

[Ian_182]

They should of made it 350 bhp and 4wd using the volvo platform

 

[R20 CWH]

too expensive 4wd system

I've been out in the only one in the UK (some of you will have seen it around Essex). Its awesome..... just wait for the rave reviews to start flooding in.

Got a feeling it will be quicker then the R26.R round the 'Ring too. And its got a full interior! (complete with same Recaro's as the 197)

Its a serious bit of kit. :evil:

 

[MikeyK18]

Ford tried the AWD system in it and it was slower going round the ring that the 2WD system.

Hence 2WD

 

[Ian_182]

too expensive 4wd system

Why???

The floor and engine are already in the volvo with 4wd.

Just slide the focus shell over the top and your done..lol

 

[kyle_sxi]

id have it in green and why do people keep saying id have the r26-r its quicker round the ring theres one massive problem you dont live on the ring and the focus has more luxerys

 

[adams182]

It just like a focus st with a few accesories on...prefer the older one my brothers got it alot better!!!
