In the current mag (946) our spies caught the A8 test mule on the road completing its first few miles of dynamic development. At first glance it might look like just another example of Audi"s luxury flagship, but check out the wheelarches. The enormous bulges are there to house a wider track, and confirm the model as a prototype.

With a deep front splitter, low side skirts and high rear wing, it"s more aggressive looking than ever - and the style is backed up by the dynamics. Using the same 3.6-litre flat six-cylinder unit as the outgoing model, engineers have increased airflow through the engine and upped power from 381bhp to 415bhp at 7,600rpm.

How much more can the Focus RS handle? After being given a 40hp upgrade in the Graham Goode Racing RS 340, the UK tuners have been at it again, boosting a standard RS from 301hp to 370hp.

The Focus RS GGR 370 represents a more comprehensive upgrade than the GGR 340, which was mechanically identical to the standard car apart from some new engine management software.

Among other things the 370 adds a new intercooler, new exhaust and more effective fuel injectors, which all work together to help the 2.5-litre turbocharged engine produce 22% more power than the standard unit.

Concerns about putting 370hp through the front wheels have been answered by GGR"s Alistair Mayne who said ò€œgaining sufficient traction can be a problem... we"ve made a conscious policy decision to limit the engine"s torque.ò€

At Ò£4312 the upgrade isn"t cheap, but it does come with GGR"s own 12-month/ 30,000 mile breakdown cover.

The Focus RS GGR 370 is available now and can be fitted at GGR headquarters in Leicester.
