    Fifth Gear proved the old Ford Escort RS Cosworth is still faster on the track because of its AWD system while the Focus RS only has power to two wheels.

    Are you talking about Fifth Gear test between the Escort RS Cosworth and the 215PS Mk1 Focus RS?

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGEymxBPgB4&feature=related"]YouTube - Fifth Gear: Ford Escort Cosworth vs Ford Focus RS[/ame]
    227 PS Escort RS Cosworth laptime: 1:28.5 sec
    215 PS Focus RS laptime: 1:29.9 sec
    ..another reason why the Mk1 Focus RS was slower, it had poorer power to weight ratio. Even if it was FWD the Mk1 Focus RS was still 3 kg heavier than the RS Cosworth and it produced 12 less horsepower.

    The new RS has around 300PS!
    Ford's solution to the Torque Steer problem common with powerful FWD cars? The new Focus RS uses a "RevoKnuckle" front suspension, along with the Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing LSD.
