Here it is, the new Ford Focus RS. The legendary name of Cosworth does not grace the boot lid and there is no 4WD, but Ford say are confident they have come up with the goods . . . this time.
The new RS is set to go on sale in early 2009 and is threatening big things. With a promised 300bhp and 410Nm of torques being developed by the 2.5litre 5 cylinder turbo engine, it can muster 0-62mph in sub 6 seconds . . . impressive. But this is doubly impressive when you consider all that power has to go through the front wheels. So have ford dropped the ball by still refusing to give us what we all want, a 4WD rally machine! Apparently not. The Focus RS comes with a trick new differential and suspension system called "Revoknuckle" (catchy name hey!), which works to dramatically reduce torque steer caused by high performance FWD cars. I have to say, it must work, as it's now the fastest hatchback around "The Ring"; although Ford haven't released the official time a Ford spokesman said, and I quote . . . . "How fast? Definitely below 8min 30".

So what do you all think? It's certainly fast . . . and green . . . and I think I may be in love
