More Ford Focus RS Images Appear

[Plex]

Things are starting to heat up as the British Motor Show approaches closer. After an official teaser image at the end of last year, an unofficial leak and official spy teaser images for the much anticipated rally inspired Focus RS, German magazine Autozeitung brings us the latest installation of six hi-resolution leaked images showing more detail and again in that neon green.







Despite Ford stating the Focus RS would use the same turbocharged Duratec 2.5-litre five cylinder in the 225 PS Focus ST, however, optimized to generate over 280PS and more than 400 Nm of torque, Autozeitung reports it being 300 PS and 410 Nm. Also, a limited slip differential will delegate power flow to the front wheel drive RS.
