    Nothing official but an interesting article. With the cancellation of the Focus RS this would indeed be an alternative

    Oh Bobcat, don’t tease us!.

    Love the interior shots with the ST-Line seats.

    That article is about as believable as David Icke on Acid. The grammar is piss poor and the about us page says it all really.

    No harm in dreaming though!.

    Yes just a dream of an idea, wishful thinking

    Well it would probably have the 1500 engine with some modifications hence achieving the Co levels that would be acceptable. But will believe it when it happens.

    RS fiesta would be fantastic. Would need to be similar to the yaris GR in my opinion

    It’s only my opinion but under the circumstances we have now I cannot see Ford’s doing a Fiesta RS any time soon ?

    @bobcat

    I 100% agree hot hatches for the time being will not be developed.

    IMO if there is any medium to long term future for the RS brand it has to be the Fiesta.

    The problem with all cars nowadays is their weight which has increased over the years for predominantly safety reasons but also funny enough, environmental ones (batteries etc).

    Also Ford have to keep it priced for the working classes. £40k+ RS’s are simply not acceptable.

    FFS, Ford, squeeze 250 out of the 1.5, instal a shortened Mk3 RS drive train and give it to us for <£35k!!!! and no frickin’ batteries!.
