Focus RS 500 in the flesh at Goodwood

Ok we’ve seen it now. What a car ! As we followed one of the 5 test models up the famous Goodwood Hillclimb, the noise of the exhaust with it’s popping and growling was a delight to see and hear. The bodywrap that goes onto this limited edition  car has a superb finish and with the red brake calipers and interior trim changes, this car does look and feel a little different to the standard car. However, seeing as most of us won’t get the chance to drive one of thse very limited cars, our journey down to Goodwood in our own Focus RS felt like to us that WE had he bargain of the year and do we really need the extra horsepower ? How fast do you need a car to be ? We have our first customer getting the Mountune upgrade today ( Friday 2nd) at the factory so we will report back next week of his opinions and hopefully conlusions of the power upgrade. perkins_goodwood_0176_lrperkins_goodwood_0164_lrperkins_goodwood_0157_lr
