Focus RS RIP

05-26-2009 Focus RS RIP

Alas, my dreams of owning a 300hp Focus RS have been dashed by Jost Capito, head of the Ford global performance division. His fancy word "homologated" didn't lessen the pain either, and he's now officially on my kill list. I can only hope the whimped down version we'll get instead has some tuning potential, the only good news being it will cost less than half what the RS would have cost. Investigation into import fees commencing.

My vote is to ship the Euro RS and keep the steering wheel on the right side.

Why not just man up and get a forcefed AWD car? There are a few options... and if you want something in the sub-family of Ford, get a Mazdazpeed 3.
