Rated at 350 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque at the crank, Ford’s hottest hatch promises to be blast to drive. However, we’ve been anxious to see what kind of power it puts down to the wheels on a chassis dyno in the United States. Fortunately the crew at [URL="www.mishimoto.com"]Mishimoto[/URL] have picked up a new RS as a development project, and they company wasted no time strapping it down to an all-wheel-drive [URL="http://www.dynapack.com/"]Dynapack[/URL] dyno, which typically offers up more conservative numbers than the more common inertia dynos. However, when you are developing parts, the most important thing is consistent results on the same dyno. Here’s a look a Mishimoto’s baseline run… [video=youtube;45K5FQpwMIA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45K5FQpwMIA[/video] “Our runs revealed that the Focus came in at 252 horsepower and just over 283 torque,” says the company. “We certainly see potential in the RS as an excellent foundation to build on.” Here’s an updated video that provides a bit more perspective on the dyno numbers... [video=youtube;yON7UIv7-d0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yON7UIv7-d0[/video] From here Mishimoto will use the hot hatch to develop products, as it has for Ford’s other hot hatches, like the Fiesta ST and Focus ST. “We have big plans for this little car, but we want to hear what you think!
