280cv a ta me la fanno calare abbastanza...

280cv all'anteriore...puoi metterci tutti gli autobloccanti che vuoi ma rimane un auto per persone abili al volante

A parte che quando un auto a delle ambizioni da grossa sportiva, deve avere la razione solo (o al massimo anche) alle ruote POSTERIORI!

280cv su una segmento C e scaricati sulle ruote anteriori.....ma sarà guidabile almeno?? avrà un sottosterzo incredibile (ricordo ancora la prova della Vectra OPC 280cv.....)

La Focus RS non si farà più!!!

According to our sources, the firm will not use the famous RS badge on the current or imminent facelifted MkII machine - due late in 2008 - because of concerns over CO2 emissions.

One potential RS customer, who had placed a deposit for the car at his local dealership, said: "I'd handed over the cash 18 months ago, not wanting to miss out. But I was told staff had to return it, as the project has been abandoned on environmental grounds."

A Ford spokesperson revealed: "Our commitment to performance cars meant that we did build a number of Focus engineering mules to test and develop high-performance parts for future products. Sadly, we never got to the point where we were ready to begin developing a business case for an RS-badged Focus."

Auto Express last scooped these cars in Issue 933. It's believed that prototypes offered around 300bhp and four-wheel drive. But the spokesperson was keen to dismiss the claim that the decision was eco-based.

"It's worth bearing in mind that it's not the green issue which is driving this decision - cars have to be profitable. While Britain is the home of RS, there's not enough interest across other markets for us to earn the kind of money that's going to give the vehicle a green light," said the spokesperson.

However, there is still hope for fast Ford fans. Potential RS versions of the MkIII Focus, due in 2010, are possible.

E' passato poco più di un mese dalla notizia della rinuncia da parte di Ford allo sviluppo della Focus RS ed ora www.carmagazine.co.uk pubblica le foto di un suo mulo impegnato nei test. Che ci abbiano ripensato???

How droll. No, what you are looking at is the first spy shot of the new Focus RS. Yes, the car they said they wouldn't do is back on track, so to speak. Caught after a few sneaky laps of the Nürburgring this week, this black mule hides the next generation RS. It's early days yet. First, Ford is expected to unveil an RS concept at the Geneva motor show, alongside a refreshed and facelifted Focus. Then expect the real thing to arrive this time next year.

It'll be worth the wait, through. Although Ford suits deny the very existence of the car, our sources claim the hot RS will be powered by a heavily revised version of the blown 2.5-litre five-pot in the current ST, running through a close-ratio six-speed 'box to a Volvo-sourced all-wheel drive system. Which means none of the wayward handling characteristics of the previous RS. Thank goodness
