That's right, BTG can reveal that the 2009 Ford Focus 4WD is still undergoing testing, despite numerous articles claiming that car will indeed be just FWD. Having seen the car power oversteer out of Wehrseifen, I was convinced that the car was 4WD. A chance encounter in Touristenfahrt tonight gave me the opportunity to lie down and squint underneath... where I saw a rear diff!

A quick chat with an un-named official confirmed that the car is still undergoing rigorous testing to be made ready for production. Whether this is to be badged as an RS, or as something even fruitier and less readily available remains to be seen. But this 350bhp six-cylinder, 4WD Focus is definitely real and definitely fast!

Does Dale work for Ford?

It's not going to have 6 cylinders.

He's typed the actual word though, that's a hell of a finger slip

They may well be testing a 4wd car, that doesn't mean the roa car will be 4wd though....
