Guest JessterCPA Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Ricey, probably, still seems fairly fun. I do like the design of both the interior and exterior though. So long as it performs well and is well built I see no problems with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil2k2 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 http://www.focusrs500.com/photos/lowres/RS500_08.jpg I think i can deal with the front end & interior, the rear end is hideous. The spoiler is god awful looking, I doubt it would look any better wingless. It reminds me of a Pontiac Aztec with the tail lights of a Cadillac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Now how hard is ti going to be to keep that thing clean? "Don't touch my car without gloves!!!!" I think it may be a good car for Europe. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balrock Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 That looks pretty bad ass. Does it have any balls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 That looks pretty bad ass. Does it have any balls? Dunno, translate the writing on the pic. Also it may be a Spec-B wannabe with the limited number placard on the center console from 1 to 500. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisS Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Dunno, translate the writing on the pic. Also it may be a Spec-B wannabe with the limited number placard on the center console from 1 to 500. X "Translated" is 345 HP, roughly the same in torque. Yeah it's got balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil2k2 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 they get 345 hp from a 5cyl 2.5L? turbo or s/c? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 So if it was AWD it would be king of all cars! Maybe even better than the Spec-B??? X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil2k2 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 So if it was AWD it would be king of all cars! Maybe even better than the Spec-B??? X Spec-B Killer! found this on car and driver.... Really, the color is in the engine bay: the Focus RS500’s 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder engine has been juiced up some 45 hp and 14 lb-ft of torque from its appearance in the Focus RS; here it makes 345 hp and 339 lb-ft, achieved mostly through breathing enhancements instead of additional turbo boost. The wide track and a revised limited-slip differential developed for the Focus RS are said to be able to handle the additional torque of this particular front-wheel-drive pocket rocket. We still recommend holding on with both hands, though. As for acceleration, Ford claims the RS500 will hit 62 mph in 5.6 seconds. We’re pretty sure we could do better than that, since we coaxed a 5.4-second 0–60 run from the first-gen Mazdaspeed 3, which had 263 hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 they get 345 hp from a 5cyl 2.5L? turbo or s/c? Probably turbo. I suspect that it's the Volvo 5-cylinder engine that they have thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 The current Focus shares the same platform as the Volvo S40 and it also uses the same engine that has been retuned. Ford as always been a bit wild with the Focus, and the Escort before that. http://www.cosworth-racing.dk/images/cosworth.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
