its was on the cover of autocar months ago, not heard anything about it anywhere since though. a 2.0 ecoboost engine with awd, sounds good.

They must spend more on photoshop artists than journalists over at Autoshopcar.

well considering the one at the moment is about £27k new i would say it would be nearer that.

£75k? its a ford not a specced up golf you know.

I can't find any mention of it. It sounds more like an Auto Express type of story but it's not there either.

I agree it has gone downhill somewhat!

It's been since they bought some rubbish website (sic). They have lost focus...

Will it still come in barry boy florescent green and orange? Maybe they'll have more taste by then and finally realize it's not 1980 at Southend sea front

Why was I not surprised to scroll down and see Autocar presented as evidence of truth?

If its coming in 2013 why bother only putting a 2012 issue number plate on it..

I hate all these bloody farcical photoshop's AC have been doing over the past 12-18months ... its utter ste.

And even if it were true, why not go the whole hog and talk to Polestar about the oily bits from their Volvo C30 concept?

[Munkeyfeet]

already been done

Googled it and this came up

http://passionford.com/forum/restorations-rebuilds...

Despite some very chavtastic people clearly on that site the work is great on this one

[Fume troll]

I think I'm right in saying that every Focus RS has been AWD...until it's actually launched.

Cheers,

FT.

Ah, AutoCar, dont you just love them.

How they said the hatchback Subaru STI would look when it came out....



How it actually looked..

Autoexpress ran a very similar story to this a while back, i.e. 4wd + hybrid and on FocusRSOC.com we all just laughed.

Then the other day, someone's dealer gave them a chinese whisper story about an upcoming 4wd Focus RS, so there *may* be a kernel of truth in here.
