It's got the more interesting engine, but everything else about that generation Focus lets it down. If the interior was better, I'd rather have a Second gen ST over the newer one for the five pot.

From the Herrod Performance FB page. That Focus RS develops 240kW(322hp) "to the hubs."
 
Wonder what they tweaked in the stock car to get that figure. I have to imagine that from the factory the car is close to 300hp to the wheels to begin with. Since it's 350hp.
When Herrod received the car last October, they measured 288hp with 300kms on the clock.
Last week they carried out a "tune only". If stock is 20(?)psi, I can only assume more boost.
 
Ford Focus RS Race Red Edition released. Unlike the normal RS, this holiday special edition comes with 9-inch cast-black alloy wheels, grey brake calipers, contrasting black roof, side mirror casings and rear spoiler. Ford executives say that this car is a "celebration" of the Focus RS's lifespan, since the RS will soon be out of production. Just 300 of these will be made.

Shame they didn't plump for Tangerine Scream, but it definitely looks good in red. That was one of the first things I did in Forza 6.
 
I don't see many of RSs, but when i see one, it is a beefy hatch. Saw a white one this morning, that red would look wild.
