Cosworth have a reputation for building AWD cars. ie the 4x4 saphire cosworth, the Escort Cosworth 4x4. That and the escort cosworth had bonnet vents, where as the Previous Focus RS never had bonnet vents and the power jump from ST to RS was not as extreme. The Previous ST170 had 170ps, with 127kw FWD, the previous RS had 215ps which is about 150ishkw and was FWD. It had flared arches and unique bodykit.
The picture above has all of these but it has too much more. the jump from 166kw in the Focus ST to 260kw is MASSIVE even by fords standards. The Jump From FWD to AWD is once again MASSIVE.
I personally belive that the Next Focus RS will still be FWD and have 300bhp and what the photographer saw was (hopefully) the Cosworth Focus in preperation.
Reason for this is that to have a Focus Cosworth is better than having a FOCUS RS!!!!
To all those poeple who say they know nothing about the RS namebrand. All i have to say is that That is what Marketing is for. You Market it and poeple know about it.
I hope im wrong about the focus, cause it is a really really nice bit of kit. But that information seems to be more Cosworth material. Awe well.
