Over on Focusst.org and Focusrs.org, users are configuring their new Focus RS's months before an official word on pricing and a release date. First discovered on Focusst.org by forum member Jerkstore, a new, rather official looking, configurator lists the 2016 Focus RS starting at $35,730 with a destination of charge of $875.
The configurator lists several options including: a moonroof priced at $895, 19" Forged Alloy painted wheels wrapped with sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires priced at $1,990 and 19" Forged Alloy painted wheels without Sport Cup 2 tires are priced at $1,395. Interestingly, adding the option of the upgraded Sport Cup 2 tires will automatically add the Forged Alloy wheel option. The vehicle will come standard with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires so don't feel left out if those Cup 2's are out of your price range.
Here is where things get a little messy. According to the configurator, 18" wheels will come standard. We already know this to be false since the standard tire size is 235/35/R19. Secondly, under packages there is no listing of an RS2 package that previous dealership workers have already confirmed to be a legitimate package (at least I couldn't find an RS2 package). With that said, the configurator shows a 10 speaker Sony branded system as standard (outside of the RS2 package) but this option has already proven to be apart of the package with a six speaker system standard.
Now it is safe to take all of this with a grain of salt still (including the package information from dealers). Ford has not announced pricing and package availability just yet. Things can certainly change between now and the spring. However if this is indeed legit, I think these prices will make Focus RS hopefuls very satisfied (unless dealer markup becomes an issue). What do you think? Hit up the source link to do your own building, and come back to the site for more as it becomes available.
