So there is your basis for an Focus RS..... If it ever materialises.

The S60 R has the 300HP/220kW 2.5 high pressure turbo, but it's a different engine - wider and a significantly different turbo setup (turbo isn't integrated in the manifold, that's what makes squeezing extra boost out of the T5/XR5 hard). The S60 AWD has the low pressure 2.5T engine - 154kW & 320Nm.
The 5 potters in the large P2 platform Volvos are wider than those on the P1 (S40/V50 platform, aka C1 in Ford speak), just more compact in general.
