Certainly makes the ST look like a steaming pile of doo-doo. Can't wait to hear specifics on it.

According to latest indications, the third-generation Focus RS is again likely to be front-wheel drive. It will draw its power from a turbocharged 2.3-litre, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine seen in the recently launched Mustang.
A power output of about 330bhp has been mooted for the RS, while a limited-slip differential and Ford’s innovative, torque-steer-reducing RevoKnuckle front suspension system will again feature in its mechanical specification.
Now I can say this... It's AWD. (And 320hp).

Oh and it has a genuine manual trans.

The other significant number we don’t have yet is the RS’s weight. The additional bulk of the four-wheel-drive system means the RS is certain to tip the scales at more than the 3234 pounds of our long-term Focus ST.
Get that weak shit off my track
At a guess we're looking at >3400lb then.
Is it going to use the same open deck 2.3 as the Mustang?

I assume that isn't the stock exhaust, but anything is possible...
(SRT-4 had no moofler after the cat, IIRC. Maybe this is the same? )
Whoomah!
My Mazdaspeed3 was the same way. No muffler, just 2 resonators.
