Transient overboost function means we can add about 10% to the much-rumoured 345hp.

Was able to get a head on shot today. There really wasn't much of a update in the both today. They do have 3 separate turntables in the booth. I Figure 1 for the GT,GT350 & ,RS

They're definitely making a statement about its grip by hanging it up there like that. If that's how Stealth Gray is going to look (even if it is a clay model), then I do believe that I have decided on the color that my RS will be.

I did consider a Mustang GT for quite a while, and I understand the appeal of a 435hp naturally aspirated V8 coupe. The 2015 S550 in Ingot Silver would have been my weapon of choice. However I do live in Canada and there is no question that a good AWD system (with proper snow tires) is the way to go in winter. AWD in summer would be almost as good, I love the sensation of prodigious grip at all times. On top of this, the RS will be a hatchback, so it will be practical as hell. I can haul my summer/winter wheels around, fit suitcases as easily as loading bags of groceries, stand plants upright in the hatch area, etc.

I do believe that I described it as an AWD rocketship that can go just about anywhere, and do just about anything. It doesn't matter what the weather condition - short of a natural disaster - I can hop in the RS, initiate launch control and take off for great justice.

If rumors and tid bits from certain insiders are to be believed, the RS will have about 345 - 350 HP, and will almost certainly be able to hit 400 HP with a tune and some mods (hopefully with the blessings of Ford Racing and Mountune). It will wreck the current STI and Golf R as far as performance goes, thanks to the advanced AWD system with *real* preemptive torque vectoring, and of course that upgraded 2.3L EcoBoost under the hood.

I'm pumped for the RS, shitty 10 year old cars like the 2015 STI need not apply.

I'll be honest I'm on the fence between the Mustang and Focus RS. I really want to sell my race car and pick up a new mustang. But if this RS really has 350 HP I may lean towards this instead. Especially because of the awd I got a fusion sport right now for a daily driver and wish it was awd for the snow I been getting where I live

Same for me, our Michigan winters can be harsh so a high performance awd car is very appealing. Still like the idea of that V8 Mustang though...

Ok they drove in a Nitrous blue RS. The looks to be like grabber blue. I have a few more pictures on my Facebook racing page. If you like what I'm putting up. Hooligan Racing on Facebook.
