correct sir, under-steer is most obvious in this video. torque-steer on the other hand is the tendency of a car to "pull" in one direction while under power. Its caused in part by one axle being longer then the other and when the engine is under power the longer axle becomes a lever which pulls the car in that direction. If you watch the last two shot of this video you can see it quite well. @ 1:26 (the up-shift) and @ 1:38 (as he exits the corner)
The car is based on a 1.4 ford focus and is 4WD. No ST engine but a 536bhp cosworth YB 200 engine mated to 6 speed bara motorsport sequential box. The bodywork is a carbon composite. i know all of this because I have the issue in which the car was featured (October 2009)
@p10gt It doesnt matter how long the previous car was out. It's a complete re-work of the chassis. The only thing that it shares with the ST is the engine. Thats it. The ST is a towned down version of the RS. Then there was a demand for an RS series so the brought out the focus RS. Which is based on the RALLY car, not the POS St.
POWER FOCUS....

Fucking awesome. They should make a Ford Focus RS Cosworth production car. Comes with AWD, and just pure awesome.

Car is 4x4, and is based on the RS. The RS Chassis is slighter harder, and the wheel base in wider. DEFINATELY not based on the ST.

@JJMetalMad999 its based on ST, because it there for a while (before RS was out).
