300 hp from a stock front drive vehicle

Where will they stop!

edit: How can you have twin turbo on a 5 cylinder engine?

unless it comes with 4wd it will be a major fail

Sequential turbos, so at low revs the small turbo is spooled, then at higher revs the larger turbo is.

Four-wheel drive unlikely, but expect 300bhp from twin-turbo engine

At least the torque steer should clear a few of the chavs off our roads.

Current Focus RS wasn't a failure was it?

It will be if people can get a WRX STI for the same price.

Can't say I've seen many chavs in an Focus RS Turbo :confused:

Doubt they could afford it

no tom chavs can afford £20,000 cars easily

my car (Volvo S70R) delivers 310 Bhp through the front wheels (wish it was through the rear) but its the way that it delivers it that makes it easy to handle, smooth and progressive.

I hope that's sarcasm.

It needs 4WD (well actually RWD, but lets have some reality) as 300bhp is crap in a FWD no matter how clever the diff might be! Turn it into a 4WD and make it, finally, a proper contender to the Scoobervo's

He may be refering to buying in chav terms, i.e stealing

I'd normally associate chavs as people generally on the dole. Collecting their giros weekly. I really doubt many will be buying a 25-27k car.

Remember

Chav = Council House and Violent.

It has 2 be 4wd to be equil to scoob or evo or they are just pitching it against the 3mps and alfa 147 gta

Scrutinize · 28 Mar 2008 at 23:51

That price estimate £25-£27k is too much for a front wheel drive ford focus, RS or not. To many other cars in that price bracket which are more appealing and likely to do the job a whole lot better.

EddScott · 28 Mar 2008 at 23:53

I know someone who works for Ford prototype section (or whatever its called) and he said it isn't 4WD.

Don't see the point in 300+ through the front wheel alone.
