VIDEO // HIRVONEN LAPS THE RING IN FORD'S RS500



Finnish rally driver, Mikko Hirvonen, had the opportunity to lap the Nurburgring's Nordschleife in the new RS500, you know, Ford's 350hp Focus capable of 0-60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. And while we've never been fans of understeer, or torque steer in this case, we have to admit, with a turbocharged 2.5-litre five cylinder beneath its bonnet, a matte black exterior and a handful of other go fast goodies, the Focus RS500 is our favorite FWD hatchback // [comment]
