A bunch of us VT and ST guys share A club down here in VA/DC and some if their cars are pretty intimidating but we can almost hang with them. These RS"s are just damn scary lol. 300hp stock with 325trq. Once these guys start trading in there ST"s I might need to look for a new club for fear of utter embarrassment. Just kidding, but really though.....

The thing could have a 1000hp and turn the fastest times in the world but I find them so utterly hideous I couldnt careless. Would never even be an option for me to buy.

Have to agree.

Yea I'm not to big a fan of the style of the thing. That hp is just really impressive for being in the stock hatch department. Granted they cost another 25k haha

You can marry an old Sea Hag, who cooks and cleans, washes your car, brings you beers while watching football games. But in the morning, you still have to wake up to an old Sea Hag.

 

[skwon]

i didn't know they have these in the US?

 

[velociraptor]

The other side of it is that I cannot find information on a release of this car for the USA.

 

[Memphis]

Its not.

 

[swordfish]

Just another cool Ford that will never come state side.

 

[Jg429]

I think they might release here depending on how well it's received over there. Probably won't be for a long while. At least until they sell most of the ST's

 

[jeremy]

Will never happen

All the cool cars never make it here stateside.

Off topic: This thread is more fitting for the Off Topic or general discussion area than in the Performance section.

[jcroscigno]

There were only 500 Focus RS models (the model was actually the Focus RS500). And they were from a couple years ago.

 

[Tidybowl]

the Focus RS500 was a special edition. it had 350hp and matte black was available. there were only 500 RS500's made but thosands of the regular Focus RS

I've always said if I ever move to Europe I'm gonna get me one of these. They are just too bad ass.
