Ford Receiving Deposits On New Focus RS

Tue, 22 Jul 2008

The waiting list for the new Ford Focus RS is already starting to mount despite the fact that the car is only officially being launched today at the British Motor Show .

Ford said its UK dealerships have already started receiving deposits for the car, even though motorists haven't had a chance to see it in the flesh and won't be able to drive it until next spring.

Furthermore, buyers are still unaware of how much they will have to pay for the car as Ford are yet to confirm the final price for the highly anticipated model .

A company insider revealed that Ford's flagship Dagenham dealership had already received eleven £1,000 deposits for the car ahead of its unveiling at today's British Motor Show, with a further rush anticipated after the show .

"The interest in the car is phenomenal, and Ford will be trying to maintain that level of interest by ensuring the car is always desirable – we'll be building less than we can sell," he commented.

The new RS is powered by a turbocharged 296bhp 2.5-litre engine with 302lb ft of pulling power – all of which makes it capable of reaching 0-62mph in less than six seconds.
