Ford has announced a new special-edition Focus exclusive to the Spanish market called the WRC-S. Despite the fancy name, it's mechanically identical to the existing Focus 2.0 TDCi. The 136-horsepower WRC-S is limited to 666 units, each of which sports the Focus ST's bodywork, is painted white, and wears the graphics package you see above, combining a checkered-flag motif, the WRC logo, and each car's serial number. 10-spoke 18" wheels round out the external features.
Inside, the black seats are trimmed with Alcantara and feature white piping and contrast stitching. Bluetooth, dual-zone climate control, and a leather-wrapped wheel are also standard, and each car is signed by BP-Ford World Rally Team driver Marcus Grönholm, which certainly adds some interest and collector's appeal to what is otherwise an appearance package. The price is set at €23,895. Last edited by csv8; 09-07-2007 at 11:25 PM. Reason: add foto |

unfortunately id only tap that if it had the XR5T engine in it... the TDCI seems to be a bit of a let down with such a sporty car.

It produces the same amount of torque as the XR5, and if you had a 24 hour endurance race I recon it may be able to hold its own with the XR5, it'll need half the fuel stops

Ford wont bring this here as the XR5 didnt sell all that great. Why would a company who is desperatly trying to keep it's head above water bring a car into this country that looks like another car that didnt sell very well......

You couldn't get your hands on a XR5 for like 6 month+ You must be thinking about the ST170.

Ford are having trouble selling them. They moved like hot cakes in the first few months but now demand has dropped away big time.
FRA I could have gotten you an XR5 brand new from a dealer in a flash...... The best way to make people want something is to tell them they can not have it. It worked well for ford australia.....makes people value the car more. I know for a fact that this is the angle the marketing company took. They wanted a rare car, something that would make people say "what is that? is that a Ford?" and in truth it worked. But for the past 6 months dealers have been stocked up and people are not buying......

You also need to consider the car has been released in AU for over a year so naturally interest / media coverage has reduced... enter Ford now doing more advertising on the car itself. |
