Hopefully they are correct on that part at least, not so sure about some of the other stuff that is written there. I'm still hopeful that it will be AWD rather than FWD.

Also, I'm a little sceptical about the claim that Ford hope to produce 5-7000 RS's per year (until 2011/12 when the Mk3 Focus comes out?). Firstly, although I'm sure Ford won't make it quite as limited an edition as last time in order to prevent the losses they suffered with the last FRS, it does still seem quite high, and I don't think they could spare the capacity to produce that sort of volume. Secondly, if it was true that it was FWD, then I don't think they'd be able to sell that amount in any case. There would be a lot of people like myself who would still get one, because it's an RS, but you'd get more who would simply get a Focus ST and upgrade it to the RS spec.

Everythings starting to get a bit hyper now with speculation, and we'll know a lot more for certain in 6 weeks time.

Entry price is likely to be below £25k and Ford hopes to sell between 5000 and 7000 Focus RS models per year.

Hmmm... as Chris says... lets hope not.

those new scooby and evo are either more ugly than the previous version and much more expensive than before and also in term of performance there going the wrong way as there slower than old models

Yes Auto Express has got it on today as well and they are adamant that it's 280PS and FWD.

No way!

300+ and AWD I really doubt they'd sell without?

They'll never make it AWD. Why they've decided to make that many I'll never know. Puzzling.

Yep, I was expecting +300bhp for the price, oh well will have to wait and see then.

I think this one lookes much closer now to the real photos that have been published so far and at last not a photoshop... apparently.

Good find nick, Just been looking on that site and 280 bhp and 400 nm torque. Looks a lot more realistic than the green one posetd. Ford seem to be a bit more subtle with their designs for fast cars now.

Translated form their website
Quote:

Ford has then released information at last further on Ford Focus R. The car is at present felt considerably to the cog on the Nordschleife.
2,5-liter the five cylinder turbomotor from the focus ST provides &#146; to &#145; in R than 280 pk and 400 Nm cross-belt more. Striking late enough Ford already z &#146; n strengths simply on the voorwielen loose. High tech differentially must there for care that the driver at each turning rechtdoor does not drive.
Jost Capito, director of Ford team, put R rested our: During the test period the focus R has exceeded our expectations with regard to traction, driving behaviour and control. If you consider that all test engineers absolute devotees of fast car &#146; s, can you are there on count that the lat lay high.
Ford reveals concept-car for the focus R on the London engine show, which on 22 July z &#146; n opens doors. In the coming months team will continue test R intensively, whereupon the car beginning 2009 in sale goes.
