[jemimahmarquez]

[tedmaulz]

a chavs ultimate car.

[hennerboi]

[tietie1424]

But...its just a little hatchback...my sister uses her to get groceries in..I can never take those egg cars serious.

[Zitronerocksyou]

[NoSc0p3SniPeRSkiLLz]

Meu AP 1.8 tinha mais cavalos do que esta Merda ai.

[Fordje66]

Im so deeply in love with this car <3

[lupo0144]

I realy feel sorry for all you guys in the good old US of A! i dont understand how Ford dont give you the same metal as us boys in the UK! Belive me you lot would love the Focus RS! I dont own one but i've had a go in a mates and it's just unbelivable! I have a Fiesta ST with around 185BHP and that is great! Maybe i'll have a RS next year when the second hand value drops!

[camy76]

Does It Torque Steer like The RS ?

[WarXerxes]

how the hell do they get the power down having 350hp in a FWD???

[terrysteward]

@WarXerxes

Mcpherson revoknuckle has been developed,to help with traction.

[AngryBassist66623]

@WarXerxes Some special suspension system is what I heard, you also have to rotate the tires every 6 months for effective wear. :(

[tdobrent]

Another cool car in Europe and another batch of grocery-getters for us.

[CarbineGuy]

damn how much

[Preator1011]

@CarbineGuy approximately 50000 Euros

[AxInTheWoods]

Incredibly lame. This could have been showcased infinitely better. Way to go showing it take wide turns at low speeds.....

[kuhlka]

Yet another car NOT available in the USA. I thought Ford was supposed to be an American company. Why the hell does Europe get all of the cool performance models while we get shitty commuter-inspired bullshit?

[Duds2k1]

@kuhlka Because you, and by you I of course just mean America not you personally, simply don't buy them when they do come over.

[kuhlka]

@Duds2k1 I saw plenty of modded up Dodge Neons back when those were the latest hot American tuner car to own. Considering the popularity of the Evo and STI over here, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Subaru owners who hate the look of the 2011 STI and STI hatch would go for the Focus RS. People want to buy American over here, we just get stuck with ugly blah cookie-cutter shit. The new Dodge Challenger and Ford Mustang GT500 are two of the exceptions.

[kuhlka]

@Duds2k1 Oh, and I don't consider buying a car made in Mexico (new Ford Fiesta) 'buying American'.

[milesfinch]

Most will be sold in the UK because we have the crappiest roads and know how to drive!! ;-)

[javhr6]

wtf its a nice paint shop

[speeskonijn]

Who decided to put such crappy music over the clip... It ruins the sound of the car...

[mo25zart]

Das schwarz sieht lange nicht so gut aus wie das weiß oder grün des "normalen" RS.

Und rotes Leder? Naja nicht so mein Fall. Zumindest nicht in dem Auto.

[thometalstar]

monster :|

omg love it :D

[xMoBxToOsIcK]

hmmmm, still loving my subaru...and the pleasure of all wheel drive...

[SuperV8driver]

perfect engine.. but i prefer the design/colour of the "normal" focus rs... it looks qiet good in green or white... but this black.... omg is ugly.. and i dont think that the updatet engine is much better thant the 305 hp engine.. but its not important cause i drive an r32^^

[celticmad66]

very nice motor, when you compare this to the shit they were putting out in the eighties like xr3i xr2i and rs turbo, its a massive leap , well doen Ford for putting a Volvo engine in your fastest cars.

[STUEYTTS]

What an ugly piece of crap

[escybda]

Quality Car but an RS500 without a cosworth engine come on ford behave

[vsporter]

i hope renault are watching this, R26R upgrade ? 4x4 perhaps?

[ZClipze]

wow another 500 Rally Sport series, these will be hot

[spellersgt]

i like the idea ...of selling it only in europe :D

>:))

[0190RUFMICHAN]

DAAAAAAMN!

can anyone buy me that car please??? =)

[STUEYTTS]

@0190RUFMICHAN I'll have the c@$h thanks and get something decent

[mascreativoscol]

cuando llega a Suramerica Colombia?????

[stefken123]

50 in belgium :D

[GhostDogNo83]

feel sorry for you.

You will have none of these...

We only have 6 pcs in Hungary, so we are in the same shoe.

FCK...

[BOMustang]

bring it down to USA and Canada please

[fordofeurope]

There will be only 500 produced and they'll be gobbled up by the European market.

But: Ford *will* be producing a "global performance Focus" which will make it to the US.

[nriqueog]

@fordofeurope hopefully the "GLOBAL" version won't be UNDERPOWERED and OVERWEIGHT.... you do know enthusiast here in the U.S. still haven't forgotten being SNUBBED over the COSI ESCORT.

[kuhlka]

@fordofeurope and it'll look like crap compared to the Euro version, just like it has for the past decade. Still no RS. I'd switch back to Ford, if they'd just sell the RS in America. For now, I'll be sticking with my STI. Might get an Evo or new STI next if Ford doesn't get their shit together.

[ziggy28ify]

@fordofeurope yes but we want FLAT BLACK :P

[yakduzi]

@BOMustang you'll have to wait and see if you can buy one on pistonheads com in 2 years and stick it on a boat to the US

[sgtpetey2000]

Please bring the RS to the US! I owned a SVT and loved it, and there is nothing american made to compete with WRX's and Evo's, don't make me buy a Subaru!

[GhostDogNo83]

Get a Mustang m8.

I wish I couldda hav one of doze...

Mustang will kick the sh*t out of all the opponents. Believe me.

reSpekt

[sgtpetey2000]

@GhostDogNo83 I would buy the GT350 when it comes out, but i live where there is a ton of snow, so its AWD or FWD for me cause i don't have a winter beater.

[6xsg]

@sgtpetey2000 sorry for the info, but the hatches are built in Deutschland.

[FFOCD]

Great video - look forward to see some more :-)

[daviesport]

Finally a true RS from Ford. This car wouldn't look out of place beside all the legendary Ford RS's from the RS 500 Sierra to the last of the Escort Cosworths

[Nakke144]

That is just awesome. I simply need that car in my life.
