if it is true, will it not be competing with the Audi S3 for market share?

Yeah but surely it did anyway with the Mk4 and Mk5 R32's... Old and new S3's were out over the same periods.

Funny VW leak that rumour just as Ford are bringing out the RS.

Currently digging a bunker.

Yeah but Ford promise loads and deliver nothing. What happened to the Focus RS Cosworth?? Never happened and the last RS was released 4 years after the Focus was launched. If they finally deliver this one it will be on the second generation of the current model. VW will have given us 3 .:R models in the Golf by then over three Mk's.

It's all clever advertising but I think you either like one or the other. Ford or VW... I know which queue I am in!  :wink:

The RS is a real car, they are taking orders.

In general Fords actually are a better drive than VWs, with just a slightly worse image.
The exception is the standard Golf GTI whose image is much higher than any Ford or any other VW for that matter.

Thats why VW pouched the Ford man who developed the Focus suspension set up!
The Focus RS will be a right handful... 300bhp through the front wheels! Scary!

They need to poach the chap who developed the Focus MkII's suspension, it's better than VW's.

300 bhp should be OK with a form of LSD, knadgery steering and that wonderful suspension.

Its got a quiff diff or something? :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: VW have got to sort out the name R20T doesn't do it for me. Just call it a GTI-R or something manly like road ripper or exotic and name it after an old racing driver/designer/road in Italy, or the autobahn eater, something like that.

Diff or no diff that car has too much power for 2 front wheels. power is nothing without control.... expect the esp to be working fulltime + some
