The US-spec Ford Focus RS was recently the star of a little media event held at the Classic Car Club Manhattan. We have some photos and a video of the car at the venue, which you can check out below.
We’re going to see the new RS fully unveiled for the US public at the New York auto show next week, so this is more of a sneak peek to that.
Power-wise, we still don’t know how much it will be able to muster; we know the whole “over 315hp” deal, but it’s just not enough information. We want to answer questions like “will it be faster than or comparable to an Audi RS3 / Mercedes A45 AMG?”
Looks wise, it’s certainly eye catching, featuring a very prominent nose and juicy wide fender flares. I`m sure it’s going to be one of the hit debuts, especially since it’s north America’s first official taste of Euro RS. It poses next to this pristine Escort Cosworth in the gallery below, and you can hear it in the video posted further down.
