"Ford Performance" Blue Oval Merges Ford Racing, SVT and RS into Single Brand + More

[FT-1]

Those wheels are optional on the pre-facelift Zetec S

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Good to see that our dear friend, Mr. Block is getting to grips with his new steed. If he enjoys it, I know I would too. And of course the car being 4WD would sort of be an idea that had a lot of feedback from him, as well as marketing reasons and the fact that the other heavy-duty hot hatches have a similar system. Yes, Ford once focused on pushing the boundaries of the FF drivetrain with the RS, but you can only promote that so far. Ford is following a newer trend, and I for once approve of that.

Remember the old saying? You won't be looking at the outside of the car when you're driving. And neither will the people eating your dust.

Top rule of the hot hatch: Your friends won't be looking at the outside. They'll be looking at how crazy fast you're going with it...

They'd both be one of the first things I'd replace.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

First set no.
Second set yes.

 

[Legro]

Those wheels look incredibly tacky, to me.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Love the second set. Maybe it's the combo with the tire, I like a nice beefy tire look.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

First set no.
Second set yes.

Agreed.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

I'd go for the second set of wheels too, they remind me of the new Shelby GT350R wheels. They just seem to fit, I dunno, it looks good.

 

[Cano]

Oooo that silver one with the Futuras looks awesome.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

They look super 90s. I kind of dig it.

Hey, that's more OZ Futuras for me! These things came standard on Lotus Esprits and a few other high-end Euro cars. They do look better on 80s and 90s cars but I think the wheel itself is a simple, clean design.

Yeah, these guys know whats up lol.

Ideally I'd want a set of fancy showy wheels and a set of track wheels. A guy can dream, right? Oh, and some winter wheels because AWD bruh.

On another car, the Esprit for example they might work, but on a Focus, .

a set of track wheels.

You could take them to Ford and have them mount them in your optional Michelin R-Compounds beforehand 👍

Right.

 

[Cale]

Futuras look great on everything

 

[CodeRedR51]

RPF1's look great on everything

Fixed.

[CodeRedR51]

That's Jalop for ya.

In any case, whatever the RS badge ends up on in the future, it will have a 6-speed manual.

Well, it gets points for creativity and comedy, if anything. I did laugh at the E-Series truck, there's no way in hell they'd make that one.

Two weeks ago.

Transit RS? 4WD Transit powered by the same 3.5 turbo engine as the Raptor.

Now.

GTP, way ahead of Jalopnik.

 

[Omnis]

When is Ford going to get rid of those ugly geoduck tail lights?

This. ^ They're a nice design but now they wind up on 'slammed, stanced, stretched, bromobiles' which has ruined them for me. Stick these on an Esprit or Ferrari and they're stunning.

Minilights look great on everything

Fixed.

So FPV Australia excluded?

and WAGON!

Dear Ford,
Make a Focus RS wagon and sell it in the US. Please!

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Sedan, no.

Wagon, YASSSS!

 

[AudiMan2011]

Sedan version would be a real thorn in the side of the Subaru WRX STI. The should make both and import the sedan to the UK.

No one buys sedans/saloons in the UK any more.

Isn't the RS already a thorn in their side? Especially with the AWD system and comparable power under the bonnet.

No massive "Cosworth wing", no point to get one over the hatch.

Now even the dog can enjoy the RS.

This.
