On March 31 we're going to find out about a thing called the Ford Focus RS 500. The Blue Oval has posted a video of the even-more-hotted-up Focus doing a twilight round of its European test track in Lommel, Belgium. And it sounds rather... fierce. We're trying to figure out exactly what the 500 stands for: Units? Horsepower (don't be silly!)? Something else?

[Mook]

[BoostedK20]

[F500]

That's pretty cool.

 

[Bru]

That doesn't sound like a four-banger. My interest is peaked.

Needs better headlights or at least put on the high beams. He had like no visibility coming down those hills.

Hopefully they're trying to bring back some form of the old sierra cosworth rs500

of course not, its the RS, it has a 5 banger.

 

[Primalzer]

my guess is its the 5 cylinder from the Focus RS...

*edit* Didn't see the specs in the other thread...

 

[Bru]

Yeah, forgot the RS uses the five-banger. My bad.

that is alright, its only sold in Europe. Though it would be sweet if it was sold here.
