4 cylinder engines, universally, sound rubbish.

With a pair of 45 twin side draughts they don't.

Biggest disappointment of the year. As a mk2 owner (see carpool) I was waiting with baited breath. After seeing it in the metal at Le Mans I was very let down buy the looks. Lots of grey plastics and a lack of aches and vents. I'm sure it will drive amazing and be quick but the interior and exterior just don't look anything other than standard focus!

And the Mk2 interior was better?

I had a mk3 ST3 and the interior was night and day better than the mk2 RS.

Ford UK have confirmed the power for the 2016 Focus RS. All 350 glorious PS of it.

Ford has revealed the new Focus RS will produce an astonishing 350hp – that’s 10% more than the Ford Mustang 2.3 EcoBoost it shares an engine with!

The headline-grabbing peak power output has been revealed on the eve of the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where hoonigan Ken Block is set to entertain the crowds on the Goodwood Hillclimb behind the wheel of the new Focus RS.

Making its UK debut, the new ultra-hot Ford’s battery of driving tech will be demonstrated, including the industry-first Drift Mode that allows controlled oversteer drifts.

Ford has also confirmed a maximum torque of 324lb ft (440Nm) will be boosted to a heady 346lb ft (470Nm) for 15-second intervals during hard acceleration. Making it of the most powerful AND punchiest hatchbacks ever.

It looks fun but it sounds rubbish, and that blue is the colour my mum would choose. Why can't you get a decent deep blue like the original Mk1 FRS?

Your mum sounds cool, maybe she had a pale blue Mk 1 RS 2000 or a Gulf Blue 911 2.4s ?
What happened to you ?

LMAO, ouch, that was a blow below the belt. Maybe we should get mumsie to join PH.
