Make you wonder what just a Stage 1 remap will produce  :grin: :drool: :evilgrin:

Thats what im really interested in.. Im really intrigued to know if there is going to be a lot of headroom in the tubo etc? So will the re-map for the RS get you any more power than a re-mapped ST??

JonnyG:
From the youtube clip,  I presume the RS will be on 5th Gear on Monday .... I'll be interested in what Plato says about the RevoKnuckle Technology and how good it really is  .... they make a big play about it in the press release  :-

According to John Wheeler, the importance of RevoKnuckle to Focus RS cannot be underestimated:

“All-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive have long been default options for managing torque in a high-performance vehicle.  We used AWD on RS models in the 80s and 90s, but it creates significant compromises in weight, fuel economy and the cost/ performance balance.  Through combined efforts of our Research and Dynamics teams, we have created a solution that simply redefines what is possible with front-wheel-drive,” he says.

Summarising the benefits of RevoKnuckle, Densing says: “RevoKnuckle gives the adjustability of a race-car style, double wishbone suspension, in a cost-effective McPherson architecture.”

not alot imo, as isnt it basically a remapped ST ? (maybe a new turbo too though, even then the ST boys with big turbos only ran at about 340)

tony_danza:
I'm gonna stick my neck out here... if the RS's handling/grip is as good as they're making out, then the R20T better be light to try and keep up.

You might not like the image, but there could be a quantum leap here. I hope the motor isn't just a remapped ST one to save costs.
