Here it is. This car should be good. If they price it right along the lines of Sti they should sell a bunch. Good job Ford.

Outstanding

Red Bread · 06-25-2015, 02:35 PM

If it's as loose as the video, it's going to be outstanding.

KingOfJericho · 06-25-2015, 03:10 PM

Awesome.

C5driver · 06-25-2015, 04:09 PM

3,234 lbs. Gut the interior and the launches should be spectacular. Hmmmm...

pikkagtr · 06-25-2015, 04:35 PM

I just can't get over that nasty steering wheel

Yeah interior could be better but I guess they spent all the money on the drivetrain.

Aside from slightly better steering feel, the STI hasn't changed since we first got it.

Lshaw · 06-26-2015, 11:04 AM

Im not the biggest fan of hatches...but i would def drive this.

WhatsADSM · 06-26-2015, 11:36 AM

I'm so excited for this car!

I agree the interior is a little rough, but mechanically there is a lot there for the money!

rjd598 · 06-26-2015, 11:49 AM

damn this is gonna give the m2 a run for its money

hgtran21 · 06-26-2015, 01:24 PM

35-40k price range? this thing looks 100x better than the new civic type-r

kraeburn · 06-26-2015, 01:31 PM

Amazing, I'd love to have one.

VintageFD · 06-26-2015, 04:29 PM

leaps better than the new Type R.

san~man · 06-27-2015, 02:13 AM

Love it! Imagine the performance after-market for this machine!

Definitely an option for me, have had previous RS's.

Nice for Ford to finally get an AWD version.

The one I am interested in, is the baby brother to this, the Fiesta RS.

Apparently Ford will be releasing it at some point, expected to have 240bhp and 'possibly' AWD, although I think likely to be fwd, however AWD Fiesta RS with 240bhp would be amazing.

secretsquirrel · 06-27-2015, 09:11 AM

This is what I'm talking about!

Knowing that American performance parts (even for Corvettes) come relatively cheap. The potential is huge. Not to mention no M tax.
