Went out in a focus rs today that was running aprox 420bhp i drove a normal rs and was impressed but this was ffing amazing just so much power but no grip lol should of been 4wd the rs in. Opinion.
When I had my RS I too went for a spin in a tuned RS nudging 420bhp. It made my standard car feel quite slow. It had some sticky Toyos on and put its power down surprisingly well. I agree a 4wd version would be great, although that would make it even heavier.Pumaspeed do have a reputation for building high power RS models. They ave a 466hp Focus RS demo car, dyno prints can be seen on their website.

Physics dictates rearward weight transfer under acceleration. With more wheel torque, adhesion becomes a problem especially on low-mu surfaces. Just driving the correct axle (ie rear) does a great deal to overcome this problem (like BMW - not Mini) without resorting to 4wd. Even RevoKnuckle and a progressive Quaife LSD can't resolve limitations of front wheel drive
