This is the Focus RS with 300hp FWD. It is supposed to be one of the fastest FWD cars in around.

its more "ricey" look but they need it for the younger crowd
for a sport package they should offer it in awd, ive herd the price tags higher on it aswell for a focus

2011 Mustang will be out in April with the new Coyote 5.0 engine supposed
to be 400+ hp. The new V-6 (3.8 ?) rumoured to be 300 hp. Should keep up
no problem.
new focus is nice - if we ever get it ...sorry they dropped the hatch and the higher output engine couple years ago ... i had a ST version with the HO engine and different transmission and suspension and it was a nice car to drive (though still needed about 40-50 more ponys)

The 2011 Mustang V6 is a 3.7L that produces 305hp. The 2011 GT can be had with a 5.0L V8 that is in excess of 420hp.
The Focus RS is not going to be released in Canada or the US for a while yet, but when/if it is, it will be FWD like the ones in Europe (they built them this way because of the "REVO Knuckle" drivetrain design actually proved consistently faster on a race track than the AWD version they built and tested). With that being said, the 2011 Focus Sedan and 5dr hatch are going to be basically the same car available in Europe and Australia, and it will be built in Oakville...So, a world car, but built domestically...the real deal. The Fiesta is also going to be the same car as what's sold overseas too.
The Taurus SHO and Lincoln MKS are both Ecoboost 3.5L V6's with 365 hp, with the Flex and Lincoln MKT both get the same engine, but detuned to 355hp and 350 ft lbs respectively.
Hope this information is relevant to somebody!
