i love it

[muzica9]

ce prostie. acelasi motor de 2,5L turbo cu 280cp. pai 280 cp obtii si daca faci resoftare.

iar 280 cai doar pe tractiune fata e chiar aiurea.

uite d-aia progreseaza vag-ul!

[alexandrusavu]

Mda, câtă vreme nu se trece la awd mare brânză nu e.

Am mai zis-o si pe alt forum: "pozele" alea sunt CGI-uri. Pe site-ul media Ford nu a aparut nimic oficial. De ce zic ca sunt CGI-uri? Apai sunt multe neconcordante la ele. Ii las pe profesionistii foto sa le zica...

La primele 3: Sofer nu e... Masina cica e in miscare dar are surse de lumina din multe unghiuri... Reflexiile de la pomi nu au ce cauta acolo pe parbriz... Etc etc etc...

La urmatoarele 2 care se vor a fi pe Nurburgring: la prima se vad reflectate in masina niste reclame. Daca nu ma inseala memoria, in curba aia NU sunt reclame!

Ah, de fapt scrie in articol: "The pictures were generated by Ford designers to showcase the features and overall look the ultimate Focus will have"

P.S. ce nu au vazut colegii de mai sus e prezenta unui diferential LSD comandat electronic, care pe Megane RS face minuni. E adevarat, Megane-ul are "doar" 230CP. Om vedea, nu cred ca cei de la divizia Sport Ford sunt chiar copaci in proiectare...

masina asta (focus rs) nu este dezvoltata de ford, ci de Prodrive

[muzica9]

[VIPER]

Vom vedea la momentul lansarii si al testarilor. In continuare am incredere in cei de la Ford. Si, uite, mai zic odata, celor de la renault le-a cam iesit un hot-hatch foarte bun.

@Ionutz: "The new Focus RS will be developed by Ford Team RS team led by Jost Capito who is now Vehicle Line Director for Ford of Europe Performance Vehicles."

[mihai_florescu_09]

dupa cum spun si ei... un AWD ar fi ingreunat mult masina care si asa nu e foarte usoara pt clasa ei. Un dieselake 1.6 are peste 1,4T in timp ce un Fiat Bravo 1.9 are sub 1,35T. Nu stiu cat are un ST dar daca i-ar mai fi pus AWD probabil ca s-ar fi miscat altfel. Iar daca sistemul de care zic ei e atat de bun...de ce nu. In alta ordine de idei mai bine ar dezvolta si un motor pe Hidrogen ca se anunta de atata timp RS-ul asta ca o sa ajunga sa il conduca copiii nosti

chiar daca se mai ingreuna masina...daca era AWD se compensa adaosul de kilograme

BRENTWOOD, Essex , 12 June, 2008 – Ford RS is back and the all-new Focus RS is on track! An early prototype of the fastest Focus road car to date is now undergoing performance and durability testing at the challenging Nürburgring Circuit in Germany, in preparation for its launch in 2009.

The principal architect of the Focus RS project is Ford of Europe’s Vehicle Line Director for Performance Vehicles, Jost Capito, whose Team RS development group were responsible for the first generation Focus RS in 2002, and more recently, the Fiesta ST and the new Focus ST.

Capito said: “The new Focus RS is as much a car for driving enthusiasts as the one before it and classic Ford RS models of the past. We’re staying true to the core RS principles of a no-compromise, affordable high performance road car you can live with. The new Focus RS will have the muscles, heart and soul of a genuine RS and will be exciting to drive every day.”

The all-new Focus RS features a specially developed, turbocharged version of the Duratec 2.5-litre engine, based on Focus ST, but significantly revised to generate over 280PS and more than 400 Nm of torque, thus achieving an excellent power-to-weight ratio.

Various chassis innovations, developed in conjunction with Ford's Advanced Engineering Centre in Aachen are being tuned for the new car by the Cologne-based Ford Team RS. Their overriding objective is to achieve optimized driving dynamics and on road performance through an advanced technology front-wheel drive system, combined with a limited-slip differential.

"In early prototypes based on Focus ST vehicles, the new system is more than meeting our targets for exceptional levels of traction, handling and steering," Capito added. "Given that the enthusiastic team behind the car are all performance vehicle enthusiasts, you can imagine that our standards are high."

Ford Focus – A great starting point
The standard Ford Focus is an excellent base for a high performance car – agile, responsive and stable.

While the latest Focus ST has already proved this to be the case, the new RS will take these qualities to the next level, benefitting from extensive engineering knowledge gained through the Company's highly successful Motorsport programmes, notably with the Focus World Rally Car.

"We have no doubt that we can enhance the acclaimed qualities of the already excellent Focus for an even higher performance model than the ST," Capito added. "Now, we are going through the rigorous job of proving out our technical approach in extensive testing and tuning over a variety of roads including the most demanding track in the world, the "Green Hell" that is the Nürburgring Nordschleife!”

"With two consecutive Manufacturers’ World Rally Championship titles and the success of Fiesta and Focus ST models, we have the knowledge and the experience. The time is right for Ford to deliver a new high performance model for the legions of loyal Ford RS customers around Europe," Capito concluded.

The new Focus RS test and development programme is now well underway and will continue for several months, prior to the vehicle being readied for production in early 2009.

Although the internet and car magazines around the globe have continued to offer their opinions as to how the new car will look and drive, customers will get the first look at a production-intent vehicle with its world premiere at the London Motor Show in late July.

Further technical details of the all-new Focus RS will be released closer to launch.

sill no AWD !!!!!300 hp and 400 Nm for front wheel drive

[Ludicass]

Mai e o luna pina la London Motor Show! Sa vedem daca va fi lansat acolo.. desi ford a mai prezentat prototipuri si apoi nu le-a mai pus in productie. Am si eu o intrebare.. de ce e totusi lumea atit de interesata de RS ??? Ceva potentiali cumparatori gata sa-si puna numele pe lista de asteptare? Oricum, se pare ca va avea aceleasi performante ca si ST WOLF, 300 cp! Mare brinza..un kil de cash! Nimic nou..!

[VIPER]

De ce trebuie neaparat sa cumparam ca sa fim interesati? De aia e un forum auto, pentru ca suntem interesati de masini. Asa, hai sa nu ne intereseze noul Lamborghini Reventon, de exemplu, ca oricum nu avem bani sa-l luam... Totul se rezuma la bani?

[Ludicass]

Viper.. ... Glumeam! E normal sa ne exprimam opinia... de pasionati. Mi se pare totusi putin ironic sa criticam patimas ceva care deocamdata nu stim exact daca va aparea, cind va aparea, care va fi forma finala.. si culmea, cei mai multi o facem doar ca privitori, caci depaseste cu mult bugetul multora de aici pe forum. O tot tragem ca nu are tractiune integrala, are prea multi cai pe puntea fata, nu are aia, nu are cealalta.. de parca, daca ar avea tot ce vrem noi, ne-am comanda miine cite o bucata!

Misto paralela RS - Reventon! Cred ca daca s-ar deschide topic Reventon pe club ford masina aia ar fi facuta in 5 minute varza.. nu are aia, nu are cealalta, e scumpa, e proasta.. e nashpaaa tare.. !

[VIPER]

LOL, asa e

Revenind la RS, io nu il critic, ba chiar tot zic pe unde apuc ca am mare incredere in cei de la Ford Rallye Sport.

[zetemte]

[colgate]

Ideea e ca platforma S40 e aceiasi cu cea de la Focus, deci de aici rezulta ca se poate implementa un 4x4, ca nu va fi un Haldex ca pe S40 si va fi unul sport de genul celui folosit la R32...totul e posibil...mai avem un pic si pe topicul asta facem noi un focus rs

[Maxy]

Nu este capat de drum daca au mers pe tractiune fata si 280 de cp putere. La prima vedere pare mult insa nu trebuie sa uitam performantele uimitoare ale vechiului Focus RS care desi avea un diferential LSD destul de agresiv masina scoate niste timpi comparabil cu o Impreza WRX STi pe circuit. Am toata increderea ca si acest RS va fi un hot hatch de exceptie.

[VIPER]

Nepoateeeeeeeeee, bine ai venit De cand te astept

[Cornel001]

Isi ia Maxy ford, incredibil, de cat timp se tot gandeste...
Ce facusi cu mertanul ? Nu l-ai pastrat pt tine ? Mi se parea cea mai buna varianta.

[Maxy]

Hehe, ma bucur sa va vad baieti sau mai corect zis... sa va revad (lui 1q ii sunt dator cu multe lazi de bere ).
@Cornel: Da, am tot zis ca pana la urma fac manevra asta si... am facut-o doar ca am ceva de asteptat. Mercul merge si el bine mersi, does the job

Scuzati offtopicul.

Numai bine

[VIPER]

OK, ca sa taiem offtopicul, si cum deja ai fost descoperit, fuga si fa-ti topic! Altfel te banez
