Ford of Europe confirms its plan of delivering an exciting brand new, high performance Focus RS for a 2009 launch. A design picture released today by the company hints at the amazing direction the new car is taking.
`With two consecutive Manufacturers` World Rally Championship titles under our belt, the time is right to create a new Focus RS` said John Fleming, the Europe`s President / CEO of Ford. `With the Fiesta and Focus ST models, Jost and his team have proved already that they can deliver exciting and practical performance road cars. The success of these models, combined with Jost鈥檚 experience in motorsport and Ford of Europe鈥檚 positive business results, mean that we now have a credible business case for a no-compromise Focus RS roadcar for more enthusiastic drivers`.
"We have reviewed our technical options and worked closely with the Design team on how the car might look, and I鈥檓 very excited by the results" said Jost Capito. "Now with the programme going ahead, the hard work really starts as the small team working on the project takes the car from prototype to production".
"We will use the redesigned 2008 Focus ST as the base for a no-compromise RS model that will become the ultimate road-going Focus," Capito continued. "Just as the Focus RS WRC owns the rally circuit, we want the new Focus RS to own the road, so we have the major competitors in our sights as we develop the car鈥檚 performance, design, handling and braking".
"We鈥檙e not ready to confirm any of the technical details of the new Focus RS yet - Jost and his team have a lot to do to finalise the exact specification and styling" affirmed Fleming. "But make no mistake, I can assure you that ultimately, the car we plan to launch will be worthy of wearing the coveted Ford RS badge".
