60k is and it isnt. Its actually a hell of a car but yeah compared to the 40k tag on the ST its sh*t loads. You do get quite a bit more than the ST performance wise for your money... Not a hell of alot cosmetically. Ford have nailed it though and it is officially the king of the hot hatches, by motor trend no less. Before errybody is like Golf R Golf R.... No It doesnt even have a real fkn 4wd system..... It produces a better 0-100 coz of its dual clutch and it ends there more or less, RS destroys all in its class everywhere else performance wise...Golf R couldnt touch it on the track, or the closed back road the did timed runs on and motor trend started talking about whats actually better on a back road "gtr, porsche 911..." they laughed and said "think about what we are comparing it too....."

260kw 400+nm + proper 4wd with real torque vectoring, in a package that was already a crowd favourite for its ability (ST)

So all things considered.... is 60k really that much given the performance it packs is actually bonkers.

Dunno if anybody has watched their "Greatest Drivers Car" stuff... Shelby GT350R came second, To the mclaren. Its not all about times but the 350r layed down the 4th fastest time around laguna seca amongst some serious company. Quicker than a 2017 gtr with awd and its fancy dual clutch......GTR also had more power so had everything going for it. The 350r is a very complete package and it shows. Also the best sounding car of the pack, by a fair margin

Ford is really starting to get it right with some products....
