Ford Focus RS Concept – First Official Images?

After the premature leak of the new BMW 7-Series, the second crack in the dam today comes once again from Germany. This time it’s the highly anticipated Ford Focus RS Concept that will be revealed to the public for the first time at the British Auto Show in London on July 22.

We traced these pictures -that look pretty official - back to the German car magazine “Autozeitung”. We remind you that a couple of weeks ago, Ford released a set of official images featuring a lightly camouflaged Focus RS on the Ring along with the initial details on the car’s specs - click here

Ford had told us then that the Focus RS will be equipped with a revised version of the Focus ST’s 2.5-liter turbocharged 5-cylinder engine generating over 280PS and more than 400 Nm of torque. According to Autozeitung, the RS will deliver exactly 300 Hp to the front wheels along with 410 Nm of torque. -Continued

We’re not so sure about the lime-green color of the concept, but the Focus RS sure looks menacing. As for the interior and apart from the bi-color bucket seats, we can’t see any visible changes compared to the Focus ST’s cabin.
