Ford Focus RS: U.S. bound

As with other cars, I'll believe it when I see it for sale on a lot.

315 Horsepower seems to be quite a bit, but I like the idea of actual clutch packs controlling the AWD.

In reply to Brett_Murphy:

Ford NA has already confirmed the car is coming here....if they say its coming, then it is.

Drool

Isn't this old news? I thought this happened several weeks ago?

Considering what I will pay for this since I got the Focus ST for a song. And yes, old news.

It was news to me!

315hp is kind of disappointing imo. I'm waiting for these AWD sport compacts to finally take power to the 2010s. There hasn't been a power jump in this category of car since the 90s. Everything else has moved on from then.

Indeed, with all the little improvements over the Mustang eco boost I was expecting more power stock. Still nothing can beat Evo power potential and drivetrain sophistication. I would just like a hatch and more modern interior niceties.

All I want to know is "when?" and "how much?".

Shut up and take my money!...

I agree.

I still think 315 HP out of a 4 cylinder is pretty good for a street car.

Agreed.

I'm just glad that we are able to get an RS here.

I'm sure there will be aftermarket goodies that should raise it to 340-350, which is track worthy IMO.
Look, its not even here yet and we have plans for it.
This should be a worthy replacement for my Speed6 in two years.
