Intrested to see what it looks like when it's launched.

It will look like a 5 door Focus and for that reason alone I'm out.

 

[Paul RS]

Pretty interesting comparison of the old wans.

5dr hatchback RS? Ford have lost the plot. Should have RS 'd the fiesta.

if it looked like this i would get one

What if this was 4WD and had around 400bhp ???

 

[Stu Beck]

Id still take the mk1 all day long.

That ecoboost engine is bound to be quite stressed. 310bhp from a four pot, it's not rocket science !

Stressed! Rocket science!!!!!!

Stressed! Rocket science!!!!!!

"For the first time, the Focus RS will use all-wheel drive with brake-operated torque-vectoring, and Evo says that up to 70 percent of the engine's power can be sent to the rear wheels."

Not sure if this is nonsense or genuine..

 

[Rocko]

Yes, yes please indeed.

Doesnt have the looks of the last one! but 4wd will be a big bonus, will hurt residuals i think of the mk2!

 

[Mark315]

Love that!!!

 

[richie_mck]

The wheels are terrible and I was hoping for it to a bit beefier looking, slightly disappointed if I'm honest.

 

[ilovequo]

Why are they fixated on the 5 dr?
Is it a deliberate move to shift 3 dr sales to the Mustang?

 

[hutchy_belfast]

Have to say other than a very very dull looking dash and the weird 5 door thing, I think that looks great. Compared to the sobriety of the Golf R or the RS3, I think the designers have done well with what they had to work with.

 

[Jason]

Im sure it'll finance well! lol

 

[Nickyyy]

Looks awesome, not sure it looks like an RS though.. doesn't look as aggressive as I'd think a focus RS should look.

 

[Arfur]

Meh... Can't get past the 5 doors. Mk2 trumps it in looks and no doubt engine note too.

 

[Gavlar]

Don't think its been confirmed if its AWD or FWD yet, think Evo were speculating
