Default Re: 2009 Focus RS reveiled in Euro Magazine

I was the one who scanned the pictures from the Autobild Sportscars magazine...

The sideview is for sure a little photoshop
The rims and stand is REAL they just black painted the space between the rims to hide the brake system!!!! THEY ARE 4 LUG WHEELS ANYONE IN EUROPE KNOWS THAT THEY ARE 5 LUG ON THE C1

The picture source Autobild sportscars claim, they recived the pictures from manufactor Ford Europen HQ Cologne Germany, pictures taken by Varicak (photograph). PLEASE, THEY HAVE BEEN DEBUNKED HERE ON THE JET


Facts from the article
- The Focus RS II is developt by Ford Cologne Germany like the Focus RS I. HMMM SOUND FAMILIAR?
- It hit the market in fall 2009. AGAIN
- The picture source Autobild claimed manufactor Ford.
- Chassie from the curret Focus ST WHERE ELSE WOULD THEY GET IT?
- same 5cyl engine beefed up to 300hp TRY 280-290
- larger Turbo
- larger intercooler
- remap CPU
- stronger pistons
- polished intake mainfold
- Getrag DSG tranny (6speed) UM NO, COSTS AGAIN
- over 10% lower consuption/emission compared to ST
- it was a surprise for Autobild sportscars to hear that it gests FWD and not as tought the AWD system from the Volvo S40 T5 AWD which shares the same platform as the Euro Focus (Ford C1 Platfrom) AND MAZDA 3
- high performance tractioncontrol
- electronic controlled limited slip dif

not clear now if the limit it to 250km/h (155mph) or let it run unlimited to 270km/h (169mph) YES IT WILL BE LIMITED 250KPH AS MOST VEHICLE ARE WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS I BELEIVE BY EU LAWS.
