Ford Focus RS - News, Info, Updates, and Reviews

[me32]

This car is so bad ass cant wait.

 

[tawheed]

I may have to put the FiST up for sale.

 

[Rejeme]

Any idea how much is this beauty going to cost?

 

[dw2b22]

My guess would be $35,000 -$40,000. Maybe even $45,000. Hell a loaded Fost can be over $30k

I expect STI / Golf R prices at the minimum.

Focus RS Numbers Confirmed - 345hp / 347tq

And just think.... They were only 10hp short of benz's 2.0L engine that has 15% less displacement ( just say'n ), lol.

Maybe they'll make a focus RS-RS too, lol.

Besides the fact its awd, my favorite part of the car is the optional tires. I always wonder why they don't make basic cheater tire options for all performance cars to at least boost their magazine racing numbers.

What is the price of the CLA AMG vs the price of the focus ? I'm no german car nut swinger, but one says "amg" on the side and one says "ford focus", lol.

What is the price of the CLA AMG vs the price of the focus ?

CLA45 AMG Base MSRP lists for $48,500 / 355hp / 332tq / 0-60 ~4.4sec

It certainly will be interesting to see what the base price of Focus RS will be when its finally available for sale in the Spring of 2016 here in US..

 

[Sourskittle]

As dumb as this sounds.... On the flipside, the focus RS may have better resale value, lol.

 

[Chris G]

If it comes in at $40k I would be ecstatic. I suspect dealers are going to mark up the living hell out of this car since its limited production @ 2000/year.
