F6 UTE - Track Bound EVO III - Member 3,367 Member For: 19y 4m 7d Gender: Male Location: Strapped in and holding on Posted 03/08/10 04:54 AM Share Posted 03/08/10 04:54 AM Good news - except there's alot of other cars I'd drop $60k+ on before this one.... If FPV actually on-sell them with the obligatory badges and interior re-trim I'd hate to see the sticker price !! And the fact the Matt black one isn't an option is a fair dent in the lineup..

Audi 250kW, Ford 240kW, however the Audi has the friction penalty associated with AWD configuration.The Audi has AWD for quick 0-100 times. The Ford has truely revolutionary FWD technology that makes the car possible.Both cars are manuals.By all accounts both cars are a blast to drive and the Focus has mental lateral G limits. Both cars derive from a great FWD platform from a major brand, the Audi from the Golf and the Ford from the Focus.Both cars have similar front seats.The Focus will carry four people in comfort. The Audi looks cool and has extensive use of alloy in front structure.The Focus has a big wing. The Audi has a lifting body [still]... and now a wing to keep it on the road.Now for the big differences.Ford Focus RS AU$60K + ORC AUDITT RS Coupe The TFSI® engine with 250 kW.

Born and Bred in the RSA Posted 05/08/10 10:58 PM Share Posted 05/08/10 10:58 PM I'll raise you to $100 that you won't see the first ones in stock until 2 months after the release date! And there won't be any spare parts for months - just what you need when your PD department stuffs something up! Yeah, I don't miss that side of the job...I am with you on that one mate!
