REVO KNUCKLE System Focus RS

[AccAkut1987]

its simple applied mechanics. I wonder why the MacPherson strut wasnt designed that way from the start

@AccAkut1987 you dont need this when you have 50 hp power in late 50' or early 60's You dont nead this when you hawe 90 -100 hp in todeys fwd compact cars but it will be nice to have this. I have fwd (145 hp at 3600 rpm, 320 Nm at 2200 rpm) Skoda Octavia TDI and torque steer on wet roads is a bitch...

I am sorry but it still torque steered. It is good to have those advanced supension but it kills the fun of FWD driving experience. When you reduce the throttle on the corner with FWDs it tends to oversteer. But if you know this happens you can corner much quicker. Its all about weight distribution and driving skill. The fancy supension does make difference to most people but human sense is way more accurate if you train.

Surely with all that money spent on this technology and development they could have put a bit more money into making the marketing video look like something more modern than a 10 year old video game.

That and I'm still not convinced. High powered FWD for the price of an STI or Evo? I'd pick the latters.

Looks very similar to the setup Renault have been using for years

[goosebuffz]

Seems like a copout a rs without four wheel drive

[rutager4152]

He's asking... not telling.

[Boostjunkies1]

yes and the original focus RS and tbh the original was a better car, lighter and had better tuning options,

The car looks cool, don't get me wrong but it wont compete with the 4wd jap stuff, I have also had a 300 bhp XR2 turbo so I do know about fwd and high hp

I just wish Ford would sort out a genuine performance car, the Ausies and yanks both make a better ford :(

bite me dick head, still won't work lol

[Boostjunkies1]

I'm sorry but high powered fwd car don't handle like that they just understeer and go straight,

Ford new (truck) based rev knuckle just means:

1. no lowering of suspention

2. No changing of wheels unless they are exactly the same size and offset

3. no way near as good as a double wish bone.

sorry but ford have just put a high level of traction control and a numb handling suspention set up, the quaffe diff is a good bit of kit though

[dewsroberts]

oh just fuck right off knobhead

[iamagypsy]

Well i dont kow how you worked that out, you ever driven 1?

[bouncetoaudio]
