It does not seem to be that long ago when it was announced that Ford had finally relented and decided to build the 2008 Focus RS, but nobody would have guessed that all of this would have happened so fast, for with just a few months the new RS has been spotted out and about in Germany, and although the car would appear to be encased in an ST type body styling is a mere disguise for keep prying eyes away.
There is a few signs that the car has a larger than normal engine, probably something in the region of the 2.5 litre five cylinder model with turbo charger, which is said will be in the RS, the shaping of the bonnet is for cooling this beast down.
In fact that car could be a bit of a few cars like off of the RS Cosworth too, whether this is going to be the actual desired finished or maybe there will be some subtle changes that will move this car into something special and eye catching like it should be for, considering that when this car eventually goes on sale later on in the year it will have a price tag of around £25,000!
