Crazy yanks!

Focus RS not powerful enough? Fed up with waiting for the much-rumoured Focus Cosworth? The Americans have delivered the goods - Ford has just unveiled a 420bhp, rear-wheel drive prototype called Focus RS8 at the SEMA show in Las Vegas.

As its name suggests, the RS8 features a V8 engine: a new all-alloy 5.0-litre, 40-valve 'Cammer' crate overhead cam block, developed by Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP) from the 4.6-litre Mustang engine and producing 420bhp and 395lb ft of torque.

 

OMG!

 

Pants - still sub 100BHP per litre - bloody yanks and their woofly V8's

Get a nice exhaust on it and it should sound chipper and go like the stink

 

Any link to pics & details?

 

 

Awesome!

 

That bumper would just melt after a spirited drive.

 

That is sooo wicked

 

I want one [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

Why couldn't we have had this instead of that crappy torque steering turbo!

Mega

 

 

I'm more impressed by the 5.0 Supercharged 600hp UPS van



Ultimate in stealth cars

 

Shame the RS8 still has that hideous interior, looks lovely tho proper wolf in sheeps clothing only the exhausts giving away what lies under the bonnet
