In comparison, the Subaru WRX STI starts at $35,290 while the Volkswagen Golf R begins at $37,415, putting the Focus RS right in line with its biggest competition.

Torque can also be momentarily boosted to 347 lb-ft for up to fifteen seconds at a time.
The Focus RS is expected in dealers by Spring of 2016.

Please turn your brains on. This is NOT a 'Focus' nor even an ST. This is a low-volume, street-legal rally car. And if you can even touch one for less than $45K during 2016, I'll be surprised, as FoMoCo dealers will be following the Hellcat's priority pricing model. And with the advent of Sync3 for all '16 models, the infotainment system will be improved. I'd still like to see a Fiesta RS, too, but that's unlikely.......just not a big enough market. I'm off to befriend my local blue oval dealer....and get in line.
I'd drive it....
