Focus RS is coming to the US....FINALLY!
"...The holidays have come early, folks, as Ford has finally confirmed what we've been waiting years to hear: The ultra-high-performance Focus RS is coming to the U.S.! The news was dropped by none other than Ford CEO Mark Fields at a local press event here in Detroit, where he described the Focus RS as a "global" product.
Of course, we ran his statement by a source within Ford who confirmed that "global" in this case includes the U.S. of A. Whew! The RS is a range-topping performance model for the Focus line, one that has been sold overseas but never on our soil. The new RS will sit above the 252-hp Focus ST, and it could even come with all-wheel drive and nearly 300 horsepower. Think of it as an American Volkswagen Golf R with a more rip-snortin' personality, and you're on the money..." http://cdn1.autoexpress.co.uk/sites/...?itok=baI3zaCc http://cdn2.autoexpress.co.uk/sites/...?itok=cJtYFtSW [HR][/HR] "...And it's official, a new halo brand has been created at Ford, and it's called Ford Performance. Think of it as Dearborn's own version of M or AMG. The new division will be led by chief Mustang engineer Dave Pericak, and it will unify SVT, Team RS, and Ford Racing as a single, cohesive global brand... " |

Re: Focus RS is coming to the US....FINALLY!
I'm a little sad they're going rid of SVT, it just sounds so much better than "Ford Performance".
Doubt it's going to end up being AWD though :rolleyes: |

How do you figuring? I thought both Team RS and Ford of Europe in general were pretty autonomous.
I thought Ford was an American company. |
Re: Focus RS is coming to the US....FINALLY!
And I just got a fucking 14 ST. Fuck.
Let's wait to see what the price is, if it's around $35k I might consider trading up. |

He was posting teaser pics all night... Lucky bastard.
Anyways, over 300hp confirmed, AWD confirmed, and 0-60 in under 5 secs (faster than an Evo). We might not know production numbers and price until the Geneva show, as this is a "limited reveal". http://cdn1.evo.co.uk/sites/evo/file...?itok=1DJa4wwG http://cdn1.evo.co.uk/sites/evo/file...?itok=iPX8DSzB http://cdn1.evo.co.uk/sites/evo/file...?itok=hG2WEXPv http://cdn1.evo.co.uk/sites/evo/file...?itok=WCxm9-zU http://cdn2.evo.co.uk/sites/evo/file...?itok=9OEG3PZM http://cdn1.evo.co.uk/sites/evo/file...?itok=2rVhxEAx http://cdn1.evo.co.uk/sites/evo/file...?itok=2h79FjLD http://cdn1.evo.co.uk/sites/evo/file...?itok=R9a2c8N0 https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...9555e7e55e.jpg |
