Ford has announced that it will be bringing the Ford Focus RS (and the Ford GT) will be on display at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. It will be the world debut for the Ford Focus RS.

What we do know about the Focus RS is that it will use the Mustang's aluminum four-cylinder 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine that delivers over 320 hp.

The Geneva Motor Show will run from the 5th to 15th of March. So we will have to stay tuned for then.

What would be great is if they show off the Focus RS in a color other than blue, sort of like what they did with the Ford GT at Chicago.

Focus RS in this color scheme:

That would be cool. I don't really care that much, but I also don't have any problems with it. This color scheme would look good on the Focus RS, but doing a color scheme that is anything other than the blue we have already seen would be a way to make some headlines.

the blue we've already seen isn't a production paint so dont expect the RS to wear it in Geneva...

Starting off with a color as intense as that blue was, was a great move for the sake of rallying up people, plus it helped to fit Fords whole performance portfolio, as seen in that one picture with all models

Its going to be dueling with the Civic Type R at the Geneva Motor SHow as both cars are debuting there.

Epic times.
Even more epic when it comes time for both to get into the hands of consumers and journalists.

Very true. Tis will be a first test, but after that we will have to wait for the press to get some advance reviews out before we can say for sure which vehicle is going to win out. Any guesses as to which one will take the prize?

Win what? For what Prize? There's a whole list of things for vehicles to be compared by and tested for, you need to be specific.

The full press release from Geneva. Some excellent info in here, a MUST read.

There is an old-school shift light

To achieve maximum acceleration through the gears, a Performance Shift Light in the instrument cluster alerts the driver when approaching the optimum upshift point of 5,900 rpm, and flashes if the engine hits the limit of 6,800 rpm.
