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

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
