Special Edition Mk2 Focus RS500 in Nardo Grey - This or the Mk3?

One of only 101 in Great Britain, this special-edition Mk2 Focus RS500 has been wrapped in Nardo Grey. Fitted with a turbocharged 2.5 litre 5 pot producing 345bhp, the sprint to 62mph is dismissed in a hasty 5.4 seconds! Impressive, however given that the upcoming ‘standard’ Mk3 has the same output coupled with an all new 4WD system, it raises the question; which one would you go for?

I personally can’t wait to see what a Mk3 RS500 would look like (should it ever come into existence), but given the choice, I don’t think I could turn down the Mk2 - Just look at it!

the Mk2 looks far better, but I love that the Mk3 has 4WD with the option to throw more power to the rear with just a button. Genius.

There’s a dude just down the road from me who owns a green MK2, he keeps it locked up, never seen him drive it.

Damn! He should fire that beast up from time to time and at least enjoy it some.

Mk2 with an AWD swap would be insane. Looks, acceleration, and handling.

Both look stunningly amazing but I’d go for the MK3 for it’s 4WD. Either way you’re making a great choice.
