Those of you who watched Ken Block"s Gymkhana 8 to the very end will have seen a tantalising glimpse of a suspiciously racy looking Focus RS. We thought it was a rallycross car, and now Ford has confirmed our suspicions by announcing Block and Andreas Bakkerud will campaign a pair in this year"s World Rallycross Championship. Details are scant, but Ford claims upwards of 600bhp and a 0-60mph time of less than two seconds for the RS, which is the work of Ford Performance, Hoonigan Racing (Block"s own outfit) and M-Sport (the folks responsible for Ford"s World Rally Championship entries).
