the exhausts won't be on the production model i believe. they aren't incorporated enough with the rear diffuser and i suspect it's just a tester to see performance gains/losses anywhere.
remember, this is testing at the nurburgring right now and heres a few more pics posted up on another site:

It's 280 bhp or whatever and FWD? 
fuck... what a piece of shit it'll be
 can you actully confirm that ?
i seem to remember autodelta's 146 beeing loved by people, and that had more power and FWD
I'm sure that i read it in a thread on here 
Something due to technology being so good now that they don't need a 4wd system.

the technology is very good. its an all new set up which i firmly believe works.
ford wouldn't put the car into production if it handled crap or was a pig to put the power down.
they spend years masterminding this stuff, and have always proved they are good at it.

It would be slower if it was 4WD though, and would have been a lot more money, no-one would have paid £35k for a Focus.
If I had it spare, i'd pay £35k for every focus ever built.
