Will this car ever get to production or is it just another wasted chance by Ford to create something special. We have not had a real RS since the Escort RS Cosworth which with Fords past is just pathetic. Come on Ford get your act together and give us something to drool over

I think Ford has abandoned the COSWORTH name and is developing the ST name... the one Top Gear called the Ford Holigan |

The ST is a great car but it can not take on the Subaru STI nor the Mitsubishi Evo for power and performance. Saying that Stradlin maybe able to Just love the old RS models and would like to see a new one if possible. The ST can handle more power which proves how good the car is and it would be a shame if they did not go ahead. Saying that i could not buy one so

On the race track? We couldn't possibly condone breaking the Road Traffic act, could we? But seriously, Ford have had a habit of showcasing these RS models, boasting 300BHP and 4WD, then not putting them into production because they are not "financially viable". Bloody bean counters. |

The difference is that Vauxhall actually build these outlandish cars that they showcase at the motorshows, however mad they are. Monaro anyone? |

Erm, isn't that just a Monaro with a different name? And about another 300cc? Not really over impressed with 400bhp from a 6 litre V8 to be honest..... |

It's a re badged version of the Holden Q car... almost all Vauxhalls are re badged Opel's anyway... its a name only for the UK even other RHD markets like Ireland use Opel and not Vauxhall name |
