This is why they didn't release a mountune pack for the rs. Not sure of the matt finish tho.

Im really liking that its very different but matte black I would imagine would be hard to maintain.

"All Focus RS500 vehicles will be painted in a standard Panther Black metallic colour, before being shipped to a dedicated 3M facility near Frankfurt, Germany, where a special foil film will be applied to the bodywork to create the matt black effect.
"

So that means if you wanted to you could peal the wrap off and have a Panther black RS? That would be sweet!

You could well have hit on something there Paul. Marketing gimmic perhaps?

Looking at that example you can see the spoiler and door mirrors are painted in what I assume to be the Panther Black.

Dear Lord let it be true :cool:

Nice that yolk, she looks mean! :cool:

but I think Ford have went a bit OTT with RS badges on every part of the car though

the matt black paintwork actually looks grand, but I'd have to agree with Gee with regards to the rims

So you're saying the Focus RS500 is Matt Black, period?
No I dunno, I'm just saying those bits are like that on the normal RSs too

Think I'm going to plant the bomb here. 350bhp through the front wheels?? Are ford of there rocker??

Everyone read the evo article on the mountune st vs the rs and pound for pound the st wouldn't leave the rs's mirror with 280bhp, now with 350bhp they'll have to torque limit the hell outta that, bring on evo mag

Would much rather have a standard ST in black with some engine tweeks! Doesnt impress at all, and i think the colour is shocking.
