Ford Focus RS = 345 HP

[Great Asp]

I'd rock one for a DD sales car for sure.

That is what I am thinking

Interior, 5 speed trans, no IRS, no blower/intercooler/heat exchanger just to name a couple things.

Yeah, I read somewhere the blower/IC/HE assembly (with coolant, pump, etc) added ~170lbs, and I believe someone on the forum verified the iron block itself was 75lbs heavier than its aluminum cousin.

Wait, the Focus has been around for almost 50 years?

No, RS has been around that long. One article said this is their 60th or 70th vehicle!

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.

I'm thinking 34/35 base up to 40 with options.

If it comes with 345hp i'm buying one.

That's exactly what I was thinking as well.

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.

Hope you're right.

What turbo will be in it stock & how much boost will it be capable of?

 

[Never_Enough]

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...

More safety equipment & such in cars today, though...

Thank you, that's what the page used to show.

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

doubtful.
