Default What my boss brought back from England

No it wasn't a car, it was the automotive section of the Daily telegraph with a roadtest of the new Ford Focus RS. Basically a completely stripped down club-racer with a Turbo engine producing 212hp and 228 ft/lbs of torque! It will go 0-60 in 6.4 seconds and top out at 144mph! Now what are the odds that we will get one here?

That would be the Escort Cosworth, and I believe it was sold only in Europe, to meet WRC grp A homolgation requirements.
