What's chasing the Focus RS
What's chasing the RS
Good Idea from autocar for reviews.
how long before some tree hugging lentil muncher get's it stopped as it sets a bad example.
My Guess - Clio 200 Cup.

Could be almost anything!
But one would have to assume its in the same class so I guess the Meganne is prob a good call seen as though its due out soon.
Cant really tell much from the engine as there is a lot of wind but it defo sounds 4 cyl so that rules out the TT RS etc.

They'd all like to think it's a GT3 RS
EDIT:
Oh yes, and they say a Focus RS would kill a GT3 on any twisty road. One guy said a GT3 can't corner very well.
EDIT:
What to the Ford boys think it is? A Subaru?

Not an especially good test though, save for generating a bit of banter.
Always easier to follow than lead..etc...

Clio 200: £15,750
Focus RS: £24,995
If you're right, then that Clio's looking to be a quicker real-world car than the Focus RS and 9 grand cheaper. Same number and position of driven wheels too.

The £15,750 is for the 200 Cup. Comes without some luxuries.
It's £16,750 for the 200.
Add a few choice options...... Recaro seats, Cup chassis etc. Just specced one up. Came to over £19k.
Expensive for a Clio.
