This thing looks utterly amazing... In for 1

wow!

Definitely a little monster. I DIG IT I hope it makes a stateside showing...

That will never show up to the US in that trim. It would never sell...

I actually really like it tho. Needs new wheels and a drop asap...

andddd.... wallpaper...

i like it, but you're right. we won't see it. we get the SHO

I love the that beast. The matte black screams.

I don't think I will ever understand why they would unveil the car at the New York Auto Show, and strictly sell it in Europe.

The vehicle number below the climate control is awesome looking. "[Rs no. 001/500]"

Sweet car! The body lines, mainly the roof line, remind me of an old Escort hatchback.

Wow! Its almost as fast as my G8!!! I love the way it looks, but damn, we will never see it here in the states. I am sure it would cost a fortune too and for that you might as well get a new stang next year with the five point oh!

Almost as fast in a straight line but in the twistys or on a road course that thing would leave a G8 in the dust.

As for the 'Stang thing?

Two totally different cars and different customer base, given the cash and similar pricing I'd take the RS over any Mustang including a GT500.

It's all about what you want in a car.

Sweet ride. Would be a trip to drive. To own would be something next to heaven.

Looks sweet!

Thing is Steve it would be more than a 5.0 Mustang, especially being that limited production. I would not be willing to pay that much. I mean, really, take the 2 to a track and see who wins. Considering the wheel bases are damn close to the same the handling would have to be great on the Stang too.

The Zeta platform on the G8 will surprise (2 cars have the Zeta, G8 and Camaro)

Sure the wheelbase might be close, but the weight would not be

Besides the fact that there's no way to predict sales price here, we'll never know unless they bring it. We all know you can't just take Euro pricing and convert it to dollars to get North American pricing.

RS > Stang

...and the more you look at it, the more you like it. Love that satin black!

Seriously, that is the COOLEST hot hatch I've ever been unpriveleged to lay eyes on.
Lucky European bastards. I could almost hate them.

Ford lovers unite, the latest Mustang--even the V6--is also one sweet machine, right?
Starting at 300+ hp, both cams variable (Ti-VCT, if you prefer), oh... if dirt were dollars...
