Ford released the Focus RS in the UK earlier this year and i just wondered if it had got over to the states yet, its a chargecooled 2.0 zetec turbo with quaife torque biased diff. Only fwd though. Nippy car with scope for tuning. Nice wide arch body too with 18" oz wheels and brembo 4pots as standard too http://www.motornet.ie/graphics/news_04020209.jpg

Sadly in North America we have to make do with the SVT Focus, 170hp n/a. Otherwise fairly similar. Very nice little pocket rocket actually.
I guess those make good target practice for the GTi-R huh https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png J |
yeah, they wont keep up with the 'R but they are still nippy at around 220bhp https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png
im still in love with the escort cosworth |
It's only for the UK, never comin over to states.

A turboed Focus.. whoa. That's how they've been doing so good in the WRC events..
