Ford Focus RS will say the last word in performance with the new RS500 version, a limited series reclaiming the past. Here are the official pictures.
Ford Focus RS will have a more powerful evil twin as is rumored for some time. It was originally said it would be a Clubsport version, but more recently the name we keep hearing is RS500, thus invoking the memory of Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 model appeared in 1987 which at that time had 225 hp!
The Britain’s from Autoexpress confirmed that the new model will have 350 hp from a 2.5 Turbo engine invented by the guys from Mountune.
The bad news is that this version will have some serious competition: will reach 100 km / h in 5.6 seconds, with just 0.1 seconds earlier than the VW Golf R , a car that has 80 horsepower less, but 4 wheel drive.
The launch of the new Ford Focus RS500 is tomorrow, but till then you can see this short teaser while the car was tested in Lommel at night, the playground of Ford in Belgium. The reason this car is seen racing in the dark has its meaning: this version will be available only in matte black paint with black rims.
Only 500 units of this black night will be created as the name: RS 500 also mentions!

Poulter & Westwood, two Brits at the top of the leaderboard. Can’t be bad
Hi, I googled Ford RS500 in 2010 and your web site was in the very first few websites, you have to be doing something correct for google to like your posts so much. Have you ever severely considered blogging for money? i think there are some sites that would pay you to write articles, you would be good at it.
You wrote an superb article, but this article can also be thought provoking, and I will need to ponder it a bit more; I will be back when I’m free.
Thanks very much, I’ve found this info extremely nice!
