@vrkuvrkuman That's AFAIK because the inside clips are from the "in-lap", where he's commentating. The lap, where he's going full throttle is being driven with an integral helmet for security reasons.
Agreed, but I'd like to see the Focus being driven closer to it's limits. Currently, the Megane R26.R still has a 10sec faster lap time - I suspect there's more to come from the Focus. As long as it doesn't turn into a tiresome GT-R vs. 911-style battle though I'll be happy!
People from Ford were supposed to make an attempt with RS at the Ring by march-april. No word since then... I'm afraid they failed to acheive their goal. :(
@vrkuvrkuman Saurma set the Nürburgring lap record for a production car by taking the Porsche Carrera GT around in 7 minutes 32 seconds. Saurma's laps for sport auto are often taken as benchmark times for their respective vehicles. I don't think he drives thist car only on parking. ;)
4:55 here you can see a different guy driving since he has a closed helmet, the inside footage shows the driver with an open helmet...? otherwise, awesome car!
Aber ich glaube , das liegt an dem erhöhtem Ladedruck der RS500 hat noch merh leicht an Klang verloren .. Ja es stimmt ein 5 Zylinder dreht nicht gern über 6500 rpm drüber hinaus beim 6 tausend fühlt er sich wohl :D
@vrkuvrkuman you´re right! interesting...there are rumors, since many years(!), that von Saurma does NOT test the cars really on limit at the NOS. And, to be honest - his "professional" comments are completely stupid.
Volvo Maschine :D Den haben se ausm V70R / S60R geklaut :D Schade aber das der Klang ürgendwie leicht abgeändert vermindert wurde nicht mehr so Kernig..
Well Ford said the best time of the R26R was due to Toyo R888. They put in on the Focus for this video and still 10 sec behind the megane (and the Driver of Renault who score 8.16 was only autorized to drive 1 single lap in Nordschleife, even no training, when Ford put the guy knowing the track by heart). Whatever you say Megane chassis is a way better than Focus one. And even imagine the Ford weight as much than the Megane, and then the Megane has 305 HP. Who wins? Sure it's still the Mégane.
the video is a fakefirst of all are always some seconds cut of during the switches of the outdoor and cockpit sequences ( i can compare that very well to my lap.. when u play them simultaneously i am always excatly as fast as he is but suddenly i lose after the outdoor sequences ( which last like 5 secs) a few hundreds of meters.. (compare to video: tts 8:20 btg)and second of all u can see that while filming outside, the driver is wearing a different helmet..i am very disappointed about that.
@oparast jo ansonsten einfach mal nach fifth gear, top gear gucken in verbindung mit dem und rs500.. der sound ist alles andere als schlecht. is halt nur ein doofes vid hier ^^
I just have one question for FORDOFEUROPE: Why oh why can't you just be FORD? Why does Europe get these cars and the US does not? I have issues with the demographics you are using for your market research. You're not polling the correct people. This product would sell here, in more forms than in just the RS clothes, and it would most likely put you well above what other car manufacturers currently offer. I know globalization of your product has been tossed around a lot, but MAKE IT SOON!!
Great ride! And we have the right shirts and more for the fans of the world's most demanding race track at ww nordschleife.us ! Have fun checking them out!
Als Golf Fahrer muss ich sagen, Klasse Auto heute gesehen sieht echt verdammt Hammer aus!
Sensationell, der Sound, die flüssige, die ruhige und schnelle Fahrweise. FORD: mehr davon!
LG
Der schönste Focus aller Zeiten
i just love the sound of the engine, so soft, but so powerful...
@vrkuvrkuman That's AFAIK because the inside clips are from the "in-lap", where he's commentating. The lap, where he's going full throttle is being driven with an integral helmet for security reasons.
@vrkuvrkuman Yes, because the outside shots have been taken by Ford from some promo video material.
As a Cobalt SS Turbocharged driver. Fucking props Ford. Pleaaase bring this to the states.
@oparast
Ich korrigiere das liegt an dem Video mit dem Klang in einem anderen Video zeigt der RS doch seine Urahnen TOP Sound
Cuando enfocan el coche desde fuera el casco es integral, cuando enfocan la camara desde dentro el casco ya no lo es
Nice. Anyone know what the whine is at higher speeds (i.e. Schwedenkreuz, Fuchsrohre)? might be - is it the limited slip diff?
Agreed, but I'd like to see the Focus being driven closer to it's limits. Currently, the Megane R26.R still has a 10sec faster lap time - I suspect there's more to come from the Focus. As long as it doesn't turn into a tiresome GT-R vs. 911-style battle though I'll be happy!
schönes Auto ;D Schön gefahren ..
Das soll einmal einer nachmachen 1A die grüne Hölle runter geblasen einer meiner Favorite hatchbacks wenn nicht sogar der geilste
Preis leistung ist einfach unschlagbar oder kennt jemand etwas vergleichbares ?
Wenn ja immer her damit !
People from Ford were supposed to make an attempt with RS at the Ring by march-april. No word since then... I'm afraid they failed to acheive their goal. :(
Mal Jet-Helm, mal Integral ;) Der Horst wechselt während der Fahrt ;)
There are two different helmets, why?
Aber ich glaube , das liegt an dem erhöhtem Ladedruck der RS500 hat noch merh leicht an Klang verloren ..
The driver is different, in onboard is a man and the image out car the helmet is different
Na respekt der legt mal ne extrem saubere runde hin. wenig leute die so schön sicher und gleichzeitig doch zügig über die NS zimmern.

JDM STI Spec c? 7min 50 lap?
Aber ich glaube , das liegt an dem erhöhtem Ladedruck der RS500 hat noch merh leicht an Klang verloren .. Ja es stimmt ein 5 Zylinder dreht nicht gern über 6500 rpm drüber hinaus beim 6 tausend fühlt er sich wohl :D
Is it green?

Was sagt da der Fahrlehrer: "Du vergisst immer zu schalten! Sieh doch auf den Verbrauch!" :D
SCHÖNE RUNDE VOM HORST

haha driver haves open helmet and when car captured outside driver haves integral helmet :-D I mean Horst von Saurma drives this car only on parking.
Completely dry track and it still couldn't best the SS Cobalt (8:22 on partially wet track)
Nice try though!
fuck i want it !!!!!!! I will buy one(if priced right of course)
the video is a fakefirst of all are always some seconds cut of during the switches of the outdoor and cockpit sequences ( i can compare that very well to my lap.. when u play them simultaneously i am always excatly as fast as he is but suddenly i lose after the outdoor sequences ( which last like 5 secs) a few hundreds of meters..
