Watch The Incoming Ford Focus 'RS500' Bomb Around The Nordschleife
We've been expecting an even hotter version of the Focus RS for a while, and now this rest mule has been spotted lapping the Nurburgring
Judging by the latest batch of rumours and speculation, Ford’s hotter RS - which may or may not be dubbed ‘RS500’ - is expected to have a big increase in power from the standard car’s 345bhp 2.3-litre turbocharged engine, and a lower weight figure. By the looks of the test mule - seen wearing a pair of bonnet vents similar to the last RS500 - is also riding a little lower on lower profile tyres. Could it end up being faster than the Mercedes-AMG A45 and Audi RS3 uber hatches? We’ll have to wait and see…

If it actually gets 500hp…
These hatchbacks are looking more and more like estates.
I have no issue with this.
That doesn’t look like a resting mule or was it just me?

Are you sure? I mean the Rs500 would be camouflaged as hell.. Will it have another engine? 5cyl maybe?
def no 5, the 2nd gen RS was Volvo powered
I’d love for them to develop a double clutch gearbox for this increased output car, would be a supercar killer for sure
What a FIESTA of puns I need to FOCUS on to EXPLORE.
They spelled test mule wrong in the sub title. This focus isn’t doing much resting.
Please keep the manual. Please keep the manual
Is it coming to America? Please be yes
