Love it. seats

Looks great and always good to reinvent the old names.

It is nice but id rather pay 23k get a standard RS and pop over to jam sport and get it faster than the RS500 for a lot less..

pfft, its just a more powerful RS, nothing special, maybe if they made it 4x4....it would be quite a collectors item.

Matt black, welcome to 2009. Could have come up with some super cool colour at least

Not a fan personally, I do like the RS's but I think this is a waste of money

Thirty Five Thousand Pounds

Some obsessive Ford nut will buy these.

Hmmmm,

VXR8, 420bhp V8, 4 doors, RWD, big boot
or
Just as fast Focus, 2 doors, 4 cylinder, 16 valves, fancy suyspension, FWD

Sorry, different cars, different leagues, but £35k gets you some very nice cars, and a Ford Focus, no matter if its gold plated, would not be on my list.

Dammm even the VXR-S/R whichever has 300bhp, is like £8k cheaper isn't it?? Thats a Sports bike for summer days in change!!!

I admire them for making it, but as stated here only a handful of Ford enthusiasts will part with 35k for it

4 cylinder 16 valves? what planet are you on mate. they have a 5 cylinder 20 valve turbo lump in, same as the st...

i wouldn't pay 35k for it either but there are a lot of people who will.

Nice, but RWD or 4WD would have been better.

And Damsel has a point about what else your money will buy you. This or a VXR8 - No contest really.
