24,990 Pounds is nearly $53K add taxes, import costs, compliance costs. If Ford were to bring it here it would need to be $65-$75K. No-one would pay that for a Focus when they can by an FPV that will absolutly embarress a Focus RS in the performance stakes for less.

Just remember, if the XR5 was converted using UK RRP it would be well over 40 also. I would imagine price of the RS if it ever made it here, would be closer to 46-48 before onroads.....

Here landed it should cost about $55,000 aus. Also no current FPV would stay close to this car through some twisty, hilly roads. This car just set a new record around Fords European test track in Austria. YES, it beat the Ford GT supercar!!! FPV embarrass the RS... pffft.

IMO they should bring it here to Australia, everyone these days seems to be into the small cars/hot hatches over the V8s etc.

You guys are just trying to upset me aren't you?
I would dearly love one of thes and would buy one in a shot.................but I don't think it will ever come to Australia. So you just keep teasing me with something I can't have!!! And although I've contemplated it, I don't think I could now ever buy an XR5 , knowing that there is a far more evolved beast out there. This car is so good it hurts  :

Nurburgring 24HR Race is on soon. I'll bet there'll be one racing there and I'll keep an eye out on some of my fav sites to find out.
**Coming Soon - 4-2-1 Exhaust Manifold and Complete Bespoke Exhaust**
