The RS will be an all alluminium Ford 2.0i Duratec. A turbocharger hasn't been 100% ruled out, but it seems very likely it will be naturally aspirated. Ford have stated that the power will be at least 180bhp. Reading between the lines we can hope for around 200bhp which is regarded to be quite a safe output from the Duratec lump in NA form.

I'd like it very much that way. It's not difficult, after all Westfields put out 190bhp from the Duratec, although I think they have throttle bodies.
Quote: No offence Scotty mate, but I think the Ford dealers are almost invariably the last to know when a car can be expected - the decision is made very high up and is never cascaded down until they are confident enough to do so.
Hugh,,Dealers have had the Full spec of the car since May26th the trouble is that we have no Dealer Network like the Old RS Dealers who want to get involved in the same way. I have posted the spec on www.frsoc.co.uk But anyone can contact me on stuart.griffiths@polar-motor.co.uk if they need help with the FiestaST

That screensaver wasn't there on Thursday, you spotted that quickly mate.
That website is run by a third party so I really wouldn't read too much in it. There is a whole load of reasons why they might not of included it. The main one I think if (regardless of whether it has been canned or not) is that they are supposed to be promoting the FST, not FRS so it would be innapropriate to have it in there acting as a distraction.
It is run by an outside company however they were contracted by Ford to produce the site, so it is technically Ford's.
I was speaking to the person that runs the site a few months back, once the cars are released they are ment to be expanding the site to offer more things... what they are I wasn't told.
Has anyone been back on since, they've actually taken the screen saver off again. Also did anyone notice the letter R in white next to the RS badge when thay had changed it?
Wheres the RS gone.
