Does look sweet... Did a build and got everything except the moon roof, did the forged wheels... Got almost $41K MSRP. Guess I'm getting old... A little hard to jump at one since my '13 SHO was just under $37K brand new and came with extended 7/70 BTB and Ford Esp 7/70 factory maintenance in that price plus insurance on the wheels... Especially the first model year.  Not trying to dis it... Just saying.

Gonna buy lottery tickets and hope!

I haven't looked close enough at these.

In a quick synposis, what's the differences 'tween the ST & the RS??

My plan is to hold off and try to find one lightly used at some point.

The AWD system in this Focus RS sounds pretty impressive and the 2.3L EcoBoost is putting out a bit more than it is in the Mustang.

Here is a decent article on the vehicle:

I could probably fit it in my trunk and still leave enough room for my golf clubs.lol, Nice car though probably competes with the subaru.  Z

Helluva a deal.  Will be interesting how it compares heads up to the STi/WRX.

I'd really like one and would even consider getting it but I love the torque and instant boost of the twin turbo v6....and if they stop sho production and or downsize the engine I like having the big boy ecoboost

450 ft/lbs at the wheels and mid 12's with an automatic is pretty serious

Anybody have info on the rumors about a Fusion RS in the works? That is another reason I'm planning to hold off on the Focus RS for a few. A Fusion / mini-SHO with the 2.7 would be a great ride.

Stock 0-60 on this Focus RS is 4.7 seconds, so it sounds like it will have plenty of torque. Once LMS works their magic that should improve significantly too.

If you can keep traction and not become airborne, LOL, it should see sub 4sec 0-60's with a tune.

Its got our AWD enhanced with rear clutch packs to move power left right on the rear axle....

70% to the rear and 100% of that to one wheel....its gonna stick.

Lol works their magic...it's actually quite simple to tune these things once someone shows u a couple things...

It will have plenty of torque relatively speaking but won't be able to match the torque of the sho with stock turbos

Agreed, but with the weight differential between the two cars it probably doesn't need as much torque.
