That could be aftermarket though. Look at the wheels in the top pic, all deep dish. My girl would kill for a chance to get a Focus in GHIG.


It would be funny and very cool to have an S550 GT350 and Focus RS in my driveway.

That's interesting, it's definitively a 2015 model. But it doesn't have wider fenders, which is a hallmark of the RS lineage.

^My thoughts exactly. Remember the 2015 Focus ST is getting a refresh also. This could be that car with a new paint color option.

Fake.

Since when do Ford prototypes have smoked headlights?

 

[S550Boss]

It can't be fake, because it's clearly a 2015 and the 2015s aren't released yet.

Since the headlights changed slightly on the 2015s., those may just be blocking them off, as we saw with some S550 prototypes.

It has a Ford emblem missing on the front but an emblem on the rear......how does tat make any sense? Do you really think Ford would leave a car like that outside without camo?

Where did this image come from?

Das it mane.

Good... but there is no basis to call it an RS. And it likely isn't, unless the RS is going to use the standard ST fenders for a change.
That color is horrible...

The rear seems to have a significant fender flare, even with a discrete step (well, maybe more of a crease than a step). Certainly seems plausible that it could be an RS.

The color looks the same as what is available on the Fiesta ST:

The fender flares definitely look the same as the 2015 regular Focus:

I think we are seeing the painted clay model of the refreshed 2015 Focus ST, which explains deep dish wheels and the taillights.

:doh:Really? As Cookie Monster stated below, it's a painted clay design model in 1:1 scale. Not even a functional prototype, that's why it doesn't use real headlights. Only fiberglass design models have a detailed representation of headlights . This may have been developed last year or if recently, scheduled for at least 2015 SOP.

You have it right, as one should be able to notice the rather "dummy-like" appearance of Focus variant above. It might be a 2016 model and if it was developed in the last few weeks, it may not be entering production until sometime next year. 9 months isn't sufficient time prior to production start.

It looks like a matte green wrap.

ST not RS
