Here are some teaser shots of the upcoming 2009 Ford Focus RS, and a concept version of the car will be shown at the 2008 London Motor Show in July this year.
The 5-cylinder turbocharged engine under the hood will be putting out between 280 to 300 horsepower, but the word is that all of the power will be going through the front wheels through some clever differential.
More photos after the jump.

March 16, 2008 @ 9:01 am
Beautiful! I’m wondering if this one could beat Evo.
March 16, 2008 @ 10:15 am

March 16, 2008 @ 10:28 am

I think the front bumper is a bit over-styled.
A small front wheel drive car with 300hp? I wonder how do the engineers curb the torque understeer.
March 16, 2008 @ 12:45 pm
wow.. having two of my favourite cars in a row (alfa n ford) in tis blog! wow!
anyway… 300bhp on front wheels, i’m kinda confident wit ford europe. standard focus it is stil 1 of the best kept secret in our local market. it is a good, but underated 1..

Since this Ford inception, I’m wondering at the rear light visibility. It seems the placement is too high and too narrow to discern properly.
March 16, 2008 @ 2:54 pm
The front grill is overkill…
March 16, 2008 @ 3:54 pm
nicest focus ever….
March 16, 2008 @ 4:16 pm
The Focus RS looks more garang than the Focus ST…
Hey Paul, wud appreciate if you cud do a comparison of these 2 beauties….thanks..
March 16, 2008 @ 5:46 pm
clever differential they say….hm…..heard it somewhere before.
i wish i could pull out those oval shapes. on the steering and the air con vents.
March 16, 2008 @ 7:16 pm
HOT!
but those “amber” items seem to be out of place! should use silver or blue as its a baby Blue Oval!
March 16, 2008 @ 7:55 pm
my number 1 choice hothatch~~
March 16, 2008 @ 8:24 pm
nice rims i would say…hmm front profile is cool but at the rear it a bit dull….interior i like it so much…cause i like orange colur so much
March 16, 2008 @ 10:33 pm
Wondering if it’s a Satria Neo…
March 16, 2008 @ 11:52 pm
garang n dis car is really insane…300bhp is really gud enough to outpace the r32…cant wait to c it…
March 17, 2008 @ 12:29 am

Naza, please bring these 3 models in!!!!!!

holy Sh*T
March 17, 2008 @ 12:47 am
i wish it will be equipped with paddle shift..
March 17, 2008 @ 1:39 am
When this car is barreling down your rear view mirror, it’s saying “Get out of my way!”
It’s mean, unapologetic and always game for a fight.
Simply stunning!
March 17, 2008 @ 1:40 am
This thing will sell in UK. UK are very fond of this car.
March 17, 2008 @ 8:36 am

March 17, 2008 @ 12:40 pm
