This will out muscle a 3MPS and will seriously start to outgun VW offerings. I'd be looking forward to seeing what other car makes strike back with and how they intend to get a step ahead.

Hmmm...
Looks pretty sweet. It's going to want to hope that the diff at the front is damn good otherwise it's going to be an absolute pig with that much power and torque going to the front wheels. Also remember that the last Focus RS had a brilliant diff on the track but was awful to drive on the road because of it. That's according to Top Gear and Jeremy Clarkson anyway.

Regardless of what they say in the article it's still a FWD.

And 220kw is too much for FWD, no matter how you set it up.

I'm getting tired of FWD at the moment. I feel AWD or even RWD coming up in the future (again).

thats one very hot hatch though they shoulda made an AWD version considering its carying the RS badge
