You want a hot hatch, but the Focus ST is too mainstream for your Jalopnik-hipster liking, and the Fiesta ST is too underpowered for that FWD torque steer action. What do? Enter the MKII Focus RS:

Kinja'd!!!

300 hp, 325 lb-ft of torque all going to the front wheels via 6 speed Manual Transmission and distributed through a Quaife LSD. For handling it has some trick suspension in the front called RevoKnuckle. So how much for the closest thing to "driving a full-spec rally car"?

Kinja'd!!!

$379,900 Mexican pesos. Converted into USD that is $25,000, which is almost exactly the same price for a 2014 Focus ST.

Kinja'd!!!

With only 288 miles this thing is brand new.

Kinja'd!!!

So get your wallet ready, grab a flight to Mexico and come get it.

You'll have to move to mexico if you don't want it crushed after the fact though.

You can buy it and I'll keep it. You can drive it whenever you come to Mexico.
