Auto Express has obtained exclusive insider details on Ford"s barnstorming Focus RS hatchback!

These mouth-watering images, leaked from within Ford, show how the flagship Focus will look when it hits showrooms in the first quarter of 2009.

The pictures were generated by Ford designers to showcase the features and overall look the ultimate Focus will have, giving a tantalising glimpse of what to expect from the production version.

Ford has exclusively revealed that its Golf R32-slayer will be powered by a turbocharged 2.5-litre petrol engine, producing in excess of 280bhp and powering the front wheels.

And if sending all that power to the two anterior wheels sounds like a recipe for torque steer, fear not, as Ford has equipped the RS with an electronically-controlled limited slip differential which cleverly distributes torque to make sure the power goes onto the road effectively. A four-wheel drive system was deemed too heavy and expensive to justify, particularly as the new LSD system is so impressive.

We"ll be getting more details shortly, so keep checking Auto Express online to get the definitive story first.
