Where did you read that? Please tell us..sounds very impressive. Faster than the megane rsr26

Anonymous 11y ago

apologies should be 8:14secs

Kaj Svendsen 11y ago

The New RS 2009 has been trialed and unconfirmed reports are saying 8:04 which will set it as the fastest Front wheel set up ever to go round the track - again unconfirmed to date...... but interesting

Uwe 11y ago

The Focus RS did a 8:34 according to Jost Capito. The 9:05 was the ST170.

Georg 12y ago

yes but the reference claimed sportauto..they never made a Focus RS test..if it would have been in 2005 like the source claim it would be published in every sportauto car magazine.. there they always have the laptime list of the past 3 years for both Hockenheim shorttrack and Nordschleife

Wads 12y ago

Fair enough Georg.... as it had a ref I added that one.

Further research seems to suggest that the 9:05 time was a claim made by Ford when the RS was released so I'll add it again without a ref. Remember not all lap times here have a reference.
