Not sure if that was the one you wanted to upload mate

I'll admit I didn't like the acid green one I saw on the road but the more subtle colours, for me, are pretty much spot on. Bloody rapid too by all accounts.

I think that's an old pre-production image. Here's a newer one-

One of the guy's at work had a deposit on one, but gave it up (and sold his Focus ST) to buy a house instead. :confused:

I think they look really good in white even though I'm not a great lover of white cars :drool5:

Why didn't Ford see sense and make them 4wd though :confused:

Saw one of these for the 1st time the other day, looked really nice in blue.
Would be better if it was 4wd, maybe they are secretly planning to make a 4wd Cossie version to rival the R35! (we can hope!)

4wd would have meant 1600kgs, less agility and no means of bringing out a super dooper one in a years time ;)

Apparently these lack nothing in terms of grip and the 300bhp is a nice lively drive rather than numbed by the extra weight and traction.

All read and absorbed by other sites. I've not driven one so cannot personally comment

i drove one a couple of weeks ago and must say that diff is not as trick as they say and as i suspected its all over the road, too much power for front wheel drive
