So its ugly as sin 
Although is growing on me slightly since yesterday
No denying its quick though. 7:50 BTG around the ring. Preproduction car but on standard tyres and said to be the same car but with a cage in. Seems they are confident with this claim and will back it up by sending round a full production car when avalible.

Think it looks cool personally, better than it being boring.

I like it, white isn't the best though. Looks much better in red

Pretty sure I saw one of these on Bedford bypass last week. Had the black and white wrap on it to disguise with trade plates.

I like it, not as good as the concept suggested, but a decent effort

Gavin, don't get too excited about the ring time.
It wasn't a production car that was used.

Overall I like it, much nicer than the current one. Not sure what they were thinking with the wheel arches though.

Shopping trolley handle looks odd, and as wit the RS, not a fan of 5 door.

I thought this at first, but it doesn't look too bad on show at Geneva. Especially with the smaller (i think) and better looking alloys.

Very true as i said above But i assume they are fairly confident it will be close to that. Or they are going to look like doughnuts with that stunt 
Lots of speculation about the edit in the footage too

It's just taken too long to come out, kind of lost interest in it. Completely different beast to the Focus RS I think, the Ford looks way too subtle in comparison.

I was under the impression that the one used at the ring was only different in that it was caged. Other than that, near enough the same and they're confident the release model will be the same time.
