Fiesta RS, who wants one?

[Thirdgen89GTA]

What would you say to 246hp and 2800lbs in a factory sub-compact?

Sound interesting?

However, this is a rumor, and my personal opinion is that Ford would be shooting themselves in the foot with a Fiesta RS, as it would probably come in at the same price point as the Focus ST optioned up a little. Why would you buy a near 250hp car that weighs 3300lbs when you could get something with the same power but roughly 500lbs lighter.

That said, the photoshop certainly looks cool.

Now that we’re only waiting for the showroom arrival of the utterly hot Ford Focus RS hatch across the world, the rumor mill can safely resume spinning this time around the smaller Fiesta brethren.

According to the latest report on the little guy – which is apparently going to sport the RS guise as well – the model could land in 2017 and nail the nameplate’s 40th anniversary. Ford has been mum on saying whether they would indeed deliver to fans and eager customers a Fiesta RS but we know for sure the newly reunited bespoke Ford Performance department is looking to introduce more than 12 high-performance vehicles in the near future. The growing range of such cars could consist of the Focus RS, the F-150 Raptor, the Mustang Shelby GT350 / GT350R, the new GT and now the Fiesta RS. You can see we have many more spaces to be filled so we’ll keep you posted on the evolution of the line as well.

Back to the Fiesta RS, details are scarce at the moment but we’re imagining a design treatment in the same vein of the Focus RS – dynamic front end, new side skirts, aggressive rear end. Besides the obvious power upgrade we’re also going to be treated to an updated sport-tuned suspension and better brakes. While unconfirmed, the word around the Fiesta RS pits the ST’s turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine climbing from 197 hp (147 kW) to around 246 hp (183 kW). We’re mostly thinking the AWD system from the Focus will not be a go due to expenses and R&D shenanigans.

If I was in a different situation and had a decent sized daily for hauling things, id probably consider one. But as long as the gto is still in my garage id still go focus over fiesta. I really wish ford would give us a 2 door option on this side of the pond. So hot.

I would upgrade my Fiesta ST for one of these. As far as hatch space sure I agree Focus all day long. As far as driving fun I will stick with Fiesta..

I am confused by that last post. That looks hideous and not at all like the real car.

Here is what my Focus RS will look like when it arrives sometime 1st quarter.

I actually thought about trying to find an aftermarket company for the front bumper. There were rumors of a European company making fiesta rs bodywork . The Fiesta car is HUGE over seas .

Good job trying to make something out of nothing......
