Yeah spotted this on FB this morn, looking at the pics you can def see what looks like an intercooler in the front bumper. If they do make it i really hope its in 3 door form if they build it. Considering the 3 door ST only comes from Saarlouis then surely if there is an RS it will come from there aswell so 3 door.
Either or seeing how good the Fiesta ST is, this will be even better. Big move Ford, i like it.

As ive said before, Fiesta should've been the next RS after the MK2 Focus model finished production of you take them as a road car embodiment of a rally car. My main concern with this car would be Ford holding the performance back to keep it behind a Focus RS.

![]() Sometimes i wish i waited for a Fiesta ST, purely for the 3 door aspect and the way they drive. But they do miss out on a little that the focus gets, but i guess its about keeping the weight down on the Fiesta. A 2L Ecoboost in a Fiesta, come on ford you know you wanna ![]() Congrats on the Fiesta ST though they are a cracking car thats for sure. Quote:

The FoRS sounds great but will also come with a great price tag. I would assume the price of a FiRS would be around 35ish if it's AWD. Last edited by Cheese3; 19-03-2015 at 10:08 AM. |

2017? I do hope they have a new body by then. I still prefer the look of the WQ to the later versions.

If they make it more power and fun than the ST a trade up would be highly on the cards

One thing that nobody seems to have noticed with the pics is that the intercooler is on the rhs of the car and vertical which is the layout of the 1 litre triples intercooler so is this a proto RS or a 1 litre that has been played with, adding to this theory is the small diameter single exhaust pipe on the rear shot

![]() [Sorry, couldn't resist] I'm glad the Euro car only comes as three-door; I don't think the five-door American cars look right. Likewise, for all the people moaning about the next Focus RS only having five doors, I'm not sure a current Focus would look right with three; it's a bigger looking car than the old model... As for a Fiesta RS, can we please let the Focus be released first before yet more rumour-mongering? Bloody media...
