Since it's a turbo, the tuning and modding potential will be sick. The Mustang might have just met its match. lol
Ford Focus RS = 345 HP

Little? I bet it weighs at least 3,800 lbs. New cars are anything but little anymore.
The ST weighs 3,200lbs, and most newer AWD systems add only 150-200lbs (Jag, BMW, maybe others), so I'd be surprised if it weighs 3,500. And with ~350hp plus FBO and tunes, this thing will move.
My C-Max Hybrid is much bigger and loaded with Li-ion batteries and it's only 3600lbs.

I'm guessing ~3400. The ST weighs 3200, figure the AWD adds 150 lbs. Don't know how much more the other components and slightly larger engine will add, but there's no way it's gonna weigh 3800 lbs.

It's a four door hatch, not a damn jaguar xf. I'll agree with others and say weigt will be between 34-3500 lbs. A tune and bolt ons will make these things very nasty. Throw in some meth and things get a lot more fun. Direct injected?
I'm so looking forward to this car!!!
Shit. I just checked the link again and now it just shows the main page for one of the European Ford sites. It used to show a page with info from their performance models at the Geneva show and that's where the power output was discovered. Looks like they removed it all.
Was your OP a copy and paste from the link you posted? Because you're right, just a home page kinda deal now.
I would not be surprised if it weighs less than 3400. The 03 Mach 1 was 3300lbs and is a bigger car. Thinking that ford will take out weight anywhere it can to keep performance up...
The Mach weighed less than the GT of the same year model?
I believe it was within 50lbs with the mach 1 heavier. 3317 I think was the shipping weight on the mach 1 which is about 3350 fully gassed.
Yes. I wish I had taken a screenshot.
This thread makes me think the 2016 Mustang will have more power than the 2015. lulz It's gonna happen again!
It's going to have to. The new Camaro which will be unveiled soon is smaller and lighter than the car it replaces and will have a minimum of 450hp from the LT1.
The RS has me intrigued. I have owned STI, EVO and DSM's. With a GTX3071 turbo swap and boltons, this thing will hit 450awhp. The ST makes around 430whp with those mods and a smaller, less efficient engine.
A Mach 1 owner weighed his car (no weight reduction and spare tire in trunk) at a track back in 2003 and with 1/2 tank of gas it weighed 3,380 lbs. So you're darn close with your estimate. Hard to believe it was that light when you consider the weight of Mustangs today.
Off topic bit how was the Mach 400# lighter than a Termi?
Wait, the Focus has been around for almost 50 years?
So this thing may be quicker than the A45 AMG, S3, STI & GTI R all competitors in my opinion. Hopefully priced under the Merc & Audi, but slightly more than the STI & VW.
Interior, 5 speed trans, no IRS, no blower/intercooler/heat exchanger just to name a couple things.
