NEW FOCUS RS 2009

The RS is back, well, it will be in 2009. Until we get some real images your going to have to live with the artist's impression above.
No firm details as yet but you can bet it's going to be hardcore as it has to be a level above the Focus ST which is brilliant. Ford have hinted at 4x4 drivetrain and a 2.5 twin turbo set up.
It's going to be heavy but should be pushing over 300bhp in standard trim.

The new Focus RS will be developed by Ford Team RS team led by Jost Capito who is now Vehicle Line Director for Ford of Europe Performance Vehicles.

With two consecutive Manufacturers' World Rally Championship titles with new Focus Ford think it is the right time for a new RS.

With the successful Fiesta and Focus ST models, Ford have proved already they can deliver exciting and practical performance road cars. The success of these models, combined with Jost Capito's experience in motorsport and Ford of Europe's business results, mean that they have a credible argument for a no-compromise Focus RS for more enthusiastic drivers.

And believe me there is a market with the sweet taste of the Escort RS Cosworth still lingering, and second hand values higher than ever.

Again as the car has only been announced in December we will have to wait for firm specifications but it's got to match the Evo's and the Subaru's so the spec will have to be immense.

Can't wait! more as we find out.

The Ford Verve Concept (replacement for the Fiesta) This one's going to be a looker, as you can see from the picture above. Dont expect to see it anytime before 2009, but the standard model launch should be around June 2008.

There is a new Focus ST due soon, as far as we know there are no mechanical changes of note, the new ST uses the same 220 BHP unit as the current model. Changes include the redesigned front and rear end to match the Mondeo along with the slightly revised interior.

Stumble It!
