If anyone can put that much power through the front wheels than Honda can but I feel 4WD would be more useful and I suspect it's engineering and costs that mean it's not included. No doubt this car has potential - in the UK the previous Type R never quite lived up to the one before it which...

How do we know it's a testament to the advances of FWD - no ones driven it yet and the version they did awesome laps in was preproduction - minus a few bits with the addition of a roll cage. It's quick but what would a Golf R do if allowed? There is potential for genius but it is a very...

Look how many posts there are about him here - good or bad - he does bring something to the forum or did. Shame to lose him James

In some ways I would be surprised if it is AWD - the engineering costs for example, the RS will be at the twilight of this gen Focus and it seems hard to imagine they'd go to all that effort and expense to engineer the car - the more the car can be constructed on a regular assembly line - the...

No confirmation for sure, in the UK Autocrat suggest FWD - Autoexpress i think suggest 4WD http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/2016-ford-focus-rs-engine-details-reveal-date-and-video James
