Hang on....something doesnt look right here.

Ford have already said that thay are not producing an RS...again and again
If this is a AWD why are the drive sensors only on the front wheels?
Are these not the same shots that were running around the internet months ago?

I wont believe it untill i own one......

BOLLUCKS!

ill believe it when my sh!t turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet....

Honestly...i dont believe it....as BMAN said Ford have cancelled this project agian and again and again!.....

If it did happen...
A) it wouldnt have AWD, ford have already looked at this and its just not feasable to change the current ST's setup....
B) i will probably have just a better tune taking it to 300bhp
C) it will just probably have a Fancy Bodykit, with a Fancy interior and a Fancy set of wheels.....

Big whoopp....

but on the other hand... if this project does ever get around to getting a production model out... sweet... but it will be some more time before we see one in Oz... and it would most likely be labelled an FPV!

all we need now is an FPV Fez.....mmmmm2.0ltr turbo......

Ford have never said they cancelled the RS project, Autoexpress reported it was cancelled but Ford have denied a Focus RS since day 1. M-sport on the other hard say the car is coming and in development.

These are different shots taken just recently as the car came off the ring after some laps.

That is correct, and what ever you do - don't take notice of Autoexpress, they don't seem to get much right these days.
