Its what I have heard, its going to have a turbo'd 2.0 unit and 4 wheel drive etc.. Think it will be a monster, but will be expensive.

300bhp from a lickle 2litres......almost as mad as the evolution mr-FQ400 (i think thats it).....will be really bad turbo lag tho!!
still think that previous RS was nice looking but needed more power!......alot more power!
tho it may have to contest with the R34 golf (in the pipelines at vw).

Erm, well I think the RS2000 was a tuned 2.0 engine, the Cosworth version bolted a turbo the size of your house to the engine.
Most people who had a Cosworth easily squeezed 250-300hp out of it with a few with a fair bit of engine work costs getting near 500hp.
Oh and the engine still stayed together and the 4WD system could still cope.
It was based off a Rally Version Cosworth made for Ford in the WRC before they left and came back with the Focus I think

Back on topic..
I currently am driving a 05 Focus 1.6 duratech, while mine is in being repaired.
Its crap...
Ugly inside, Horid front end, lack of power for a 1.6 and generally a horid car.
Its two plus sides, the factory fitted radio/cd player sounds great, and the suspension/ride is very good..
But other than that, I'd buy a 1.6 honda Civic rather than the 1.6 focus
