2009 Ford Focus RS


Ford has released two official images of the upcoming Focus RS performance hatch ahead of its debut at the London Motor Show next month.

Seen here in camouflaged guise during testing on the famous Nurburgring, the overall shape of the car along with several styling cues including the aggressive bonnet vents and flared guards are clearly visible. The Focus RS will be powered by a tweaked version of the Duratec 2.5-litre engine from the XR5 Turbo to deliver more than 206 kW (280 hp) and over 400 Nm of torque.

“The new Focus RS is as much a car for driving enthusiasts as the one before it and classic Ford RS models of the past. We’re staying true to the core RS principles of a no-compromise, affordable high performance road car you can live with. The new Focus RS will have the muscles, heart and soul of a genuine RS and will be exciting to drive every day.”

To deliver all this power to the front wheels, Ford engineers have fitted a limited slip differential to ensure maximum traction and limit torque steer during hard acceleration.

Alfa MiTo and 8C Competizione


The all-new Alfa MiTo compact sport hatch has joined its brother and inspiration the 8C Competizione for a photo shoot that showcases the uncanny resemblance between the two.

The interior of the MiTo is also shown for the first time and it looks fantastically well crafted and something befitting of the Italian marque from its plush leather seats with Alfa Romeo logo to the perforated leather wrapped multi-function steering wheel.
