salsheikh Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I hope its AWD and a monster. there's a thread on the ST owners forum and one of the admin staff has been invited to its preview! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRC89 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 The drifting around in the video is characteristic of AWD. And we know that they couldn't put much more than 300bhp through the front wheels. So I'd predict AWD, 300-325bhp from the 2l ecoboost, a crazy bodykit, some vibrant colours, and hoping they'll do a 3 door version. Also hoping that it'll be as hardcore as the mk2, and not just a tuned up ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also hoping that it'll be as hardcore as the mk2, and not just a tuned up ST Ford are saying it'll be FWD from what I've read - my thoughts are that AWD would add cost & weight that wouldn't work out for Ford wanting to make money on it. Also supposed to be getting a higher power version of the 2.3L which is going into the Mustang. And sadly there's no chance of it being a 3-dr, the costs of doing that would be horrendous looking at the numbers Ford are expecting to shift - they will be trying to maintain as much commonality as possible with the base models while also doing some hefty visual mods to make it stand out from the ST.

RAIDER32 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I can't imagine it's AWD, the RS500 was putting out 350bhp through the front, You're looking at £30k for a FWD RS, so an AWD RS will be a unique system at around £50k, putting it into GT-R territory, a few select slidey clips in the damp might look AWD but it was cocking it's rear wheel too. I hope it comes with the Mustang 2.3L engine just to separate it more from the ST, but they did push the 225bhp 2.5L ST engine to 350bhp on the RS500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm hoping 350bhp as a minimum, that way it can take on the Merc and Audi offerings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry-1987 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Would have looked better as a 3 door. Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
