I wish it was mine, but alas I couldn't afford one.

A bunch of us were out taking pics and trying to find somewhere that would allow the true ultimate green to show - photos simply don't do it justice!

Photo of the early prototype of RevoKnuckle.

Everytime I hear or read about RevoKnuckle I am reminded of this

I seen one of these in the green yesterday morning. It really has road presence and I'm talking from the other side of a divided highway too. Looked awesome and green is my fav colour

Orac's RS is stunning Will

Looks like there will be a white RS at wakefield on Top Gear next week, or at least soon. Looking forward to seeing it go around there.

Last week's Drive It (on TVS in Sydney) had Mikko Hirvonen driving an Ultimate Green example in a segment they did on the RS. Anyone else see it?

Rich@NDRS · 29-10-2010, 08:29 AM

Great cars, looks better in white. but i still prefer the mk1 focus RS, the focus rs should always have been 4wd.

Bucknaked · 31-10-2010, 05:15 PM

I just got back from a drive in an RS. (Passenger) Impressive car. We had people almost breaking their necks to get a look. The RS was one of the Ultimate Greens. Quite amusing to see. I enjoyed my ride.

**DJM83** · 31-10-2010, 06:10 PM

The RS focus has 300hp and weighs 1467kg. where as yours has roughly 420hp and weighs 1715kg the RS will handle the corners better but yours will leave it for dust down the straights. possibly. You'll have to find someone with an RS and put them through there paces

Hate to go grave digging here, but I'm looking at getting the Team Dynamics 1.2s for my new Performance Blue XR5. Curious if anyone here knows or can remember what size they were on the white XR5 on on page 4? I think they are 18's, but I want that stance and would hate to order 18's if the ones pictured were 19's...

By the look of this quote they were 18's

An bugger, read every page but missed the most important post somehow...

Thanks heaps!

bseos · 27-06-2011, 01:14 AM

seen a Green RS a few days ago pull into Hungry Jacks in Deer park.. almost rear ended the car infront of me.. couldnt peel my eyes off it quick enough. Gorgeous car.

Neale · 27-06-2011, 07:25 PM

You dont see this very often at a servo. XR5, RS & Sierra RS500

Since that quote they have release a 19" version of the TD Pro Race 1.2's in an RS specific fitment. They will fit the XR5 too but you will likely need spacers to clear the suspension and pump them out towards the guards.

18's dont have the same spacer issue

Correct me if im wrong, but arent spacers illegal?

Looks like a Sapphire behind those as well in that pic ... must have been a cruise day.

I am sure I have seen IRS 500 ... trundling around before as well.

Great pics SB.
