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.
