New Focus RS

Turbocharged 2.5 producing 280+bhp. Chose FWD to save weight, with an electronically controlled LSD, wonder if it works in a similar way to Alfa's traction control electronic Q2.

I thought the exact same thing

thats not a bad thing in my book

280 bhp just through the front, that gotta hurt

I could live with one of those in my drive

Doesn't anyone else think it looks like a chav's wet dream?

Yes, but not as much as the Astra VXR.

I quite like it, although it's a shame that its FWD.

FWD lighter? My Arse, more like FWD is cheaper to make...

Yes, it's horrid

i like it. i liked the original focus RS, and oh-so-nearly bough a focus ST170 instead of my 156 (but with hindsight glad i didn't), and this new one looks great. fast focuses? yes please, if only to stop motoring journalists foaming at the mouth about the ubiquitous golf gti

what he said

if it was 4wd and black and free then I still would not have one

Edit... if it was free then yes I would have it but not park it by my house and have black out windows
