Ford has just released the latest pics of one of 2009’s hottest new cars – the awesome Focus RS.

So knowing how much you guys can’t get enough of this super-hot hatch, we’ve put together the ultimate Ford Focus RS slide show, with 101 shots of the 300bhp car.

There are official Ford Focus RS shots along with images from the British Motor Show, spy snaps as well as a few photos of the WRC model and original Ford Focus RS.

The Focus RS made its debut at July’s British Motor Show alongside the likes of the Lotus Evora and Vauxhall Insignia, with the bright green machine stealing the limelight.

On sale next spring, the Focus RS will get a tuned version of the Focus ST’s 2.5-litre engine with power upped to 300bhp.

This should realise a 0-62mph time of less than six seconds and a top speed thought to be around 161mph – although it’s unconfirmed whether Ford will limit the RS to 155mph.

Prices for the new Focus RS will be announced within the week with the hot hatch expected to cost around £25,000.
