4.7 in the 0-100 is enough to make you out run some far more expensive and seemingly faster vehicles, going to be fun seeing the Focus RS outrun them

The 4.7 seconds RS model starts at $36,605. What other 345hp car with the same price point can beat that?
Here's another commercial I found. Couldn't embed it but here's a link: http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/ford-focus-rs-pricing-performance-specs-news/#/14

So many lens flares.

Not sure of anything new but there is of course the option to buy something on the used car market, modify it and go just as fast or faster than the RS.

Used market is fine, but people are looking for more than just the speed. It's also a nice car. Not luxury, but a nice car.

Indeed, but fact is it's an option that some folks will want to weight out, something other won't want and instead just want something new. Many perks to buying a used vehicle especially if you're a value minded person.

Of course this will be an option for some. Personally, I want a warranty, and the fact that it will be a limited run appeals to me as well.

Owning a vehicle off warranty or still with a portion of its warranty term to go can still be worth it, just have to know what exactly you're getting yourself into before making the purchase. With that, you're better off.

Found an animated commercial for the Focus RS! At least I think it's a commercial. You can see the AWD Powertrain in detail.

I can't imagine that being the typical commerical you'll see, it's more of a promotional video directed to a very specific audience, like us. More along the lines of what i'd expect to see on Ford's website than off of it.

Good point. I don't see it on their site so it could be a video created by enthusiasts for enthusiasts.

the RS is nice because you can daily it and have fun going to and fro.

The video displayed the "Ford Performance" logo at the end, chances are it came directly from them.

Around 27 seconds into the video, are those the engine pistons?

At the bottom yeah.

A lot of it at the top and what you mainly see are valves.
