Despite Ford having already sent out official pictures and a few details regarding the all-new Focus RS, it seems developmental testing is still ongoing.
Why these spy pictures taken at the Nurburg ring in Germany prove as much. Ironing out a few bugs perhaps? Who knows. All we know is that this car is set to cause many problems in the hot family hatch segment.
Powered by a 2.3-litre Ecoboost turbo engine, rumours currently place maximum output at 257kW, which is sent to all four wheels via an updated all-wheel-drive (AWD) system with Dynamic Torque Vectoring.

The spies report that in terms of exhaust note, the RS is on point, with a deeply gruffy aural reaction coming from the two tailpipes.
We believe the new Ford Focus RS will be sold in Mzansi sometime in 2016 at a price of around R525 000, should the Rand hold its current Euro exchange rate.
