They are not going to be a rare beast then!

About as rare as a Brera according to howmanyleft.

[Richyboy]

How many did they sell of the last iteration?

4500 rings a bell for the 09 RS

WML quotes about 5000 including the mk1 so probably 4000 ish on the road

There were 4,500 MK1 Focus RS' made...

Thought over 10,000 MK2 RS' were built

10,500 including the RS500. That is worldwide, although it is fair to assume 50% are UK cars.

I don't know about the other models, but only 20% of RS500 cars came to the UK.

Need to chose the colour for my car, I'm going for blue or white?

Anybody got good non tinted photos of the cars?

And just for completeness:

Magnetic Grey:





Stealth:




Black:

Thanks folks, that's why it needs to be white or blue IMO!

[Dal3D]

^ My thoughts entirely.

I ended up going for Blue as it's RS unique and the colour almost changes whether the sun is out or not. Kinda like having a car with 2 different colours lol

[Legacywr]

That's similar to a Nagaro blue Audi S6 I had, one colour I liked, the other I didn't!

The other thing is, a large percentage of the cars already ordered are blue!

Magnetic Grey:

I like that.

[Dal3D]

Hopefully the production Magnetic Grey RS will have a better paint match than this ST:

/\ Just like previous generations....

When i got mine that colour wasn't available in the uk.

[Dal3D]

I don't think its available still in the UK according to the Ford UK Focus ST configurator.

That's a picture from the States.

That grey looks great in that photo!

Still haven't chosen my colour yet, is there anywhere in the UK you could possibly see the blue RS, or any of the others?

[Dal3D]

There's a liquid blue one around (which isn't an available colour) That I saw and sat in at Leicester:



and a Black one that's been at a few dealers in recent months - I saw it at Bedford:



The only Nitrous Blue one (other than the Goodwood one) was a test mule spotted down at and around Mountune HQ but isn't around now:
