Ford missed a trick NOT building them

I agree with you and also disagree at the same time! To put this into context, VW make a Golf R estate. It's been a shit seller for them but by our reconning it should have been a top seller. It shows that VW tried and probably why Ford didn't. (Not foregoing the fact the VW Haldex system is much improved over Ford's system on that platform) 👌👍

Saw this at service station next to a 570S and was more interested in the Focus than the McLaren

Yes sid! Brilliant to see you at your best and in something different!

Awesome Sid!! Had the pleasure of driving a very similar car myself. A mk3 Focus RS Estate in Blue. It done awesome doughnuts 🚙 💨

Wicked build! Full cred to the owner, love it.

Looks great, the standard mk3 RS boot is pitiful so this seems to be the perfect solution!. I believe the RS has a lot of seam welding and strengthening to the body, which I'm guessing this won't have done

I've always liked the old volvo turbo estates and ford's rally pedigree. This might be my dream car and it doesn't even exist 😭😭😭

Luckily I've had the chance to drive this beauty myself and what a car it is especially on Revo Stage 2 💪🏽

Would love a motor like this.. Sounds pretty mint too mate.

I agree about the estate bit i always get the estate version have been buying estates for 20 years latest one is my amazing 2013 2.0tdci titanium x 163. Not in rs territory but its a capable motor

Love it. Thats why we built one.

I own 2017 ST Estate and I love it but.... Damn... That front RS bumper and trunk spoiler extension makes it look so much more agrresive

Is the engine a secret development? Always nice to see it..'eye & ball' Sid.

What’s with the seat belt end bit? Why someone drives around especially in a performance car without a seatbelt on is beyond me. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Tells you all you need to know about the owner …. Money on that he has a transit too and ‘I earn a lot more than I declare, mate - know what I mean’

Such a shame this never went in to production 😕 great review.........

A sports estate. Nice.

Very nice built! My only criticism is that it is too loud. Little bit less would be better.

That, the steering wheel, the stickers on the back window and the Airtec spray painted on the intercooler can do one.

Awesome

Now this is a bit nom nom! Just got rid of my cupra r st. There’s hardly any warmish estates now, yes we have the m3 estate comming but I don’t have nearly 100k to spend. 🙁 need that middle ground filled by something

Cool car - wonder what the build cost is compared to buying and sorting a ST or Octavia VRS Estate

Or even compared to a second hand rs4 or rs6 with 4 wheel drive also

What exhaust set-up does this have?

All that work and yet hasnt got a £5 ssc 🤨 to stop the whistle Love the Fact that its been built mind

5:55 😂😂😂👏🏻

In my opinion they look muuuuutch nicer to

I had a chance to buy estate ST in black back in 2014...opted for Cmax as family car... Still angry at myself.

And you should be😅 I drive 2017 ST estate with 185HP diesel under the bonnet. Sure not as great as petrol one but still gives lots of fun while giving more mpgs.... And let's not forget 400NM 😁💪🏻🚅

Nice but not one of a kind first one was done a few years ago in blue and was on adam smiths channel

She's a beaut

Sid check out Abimoto on KZread you should do something with him

It is a cool build but this generation of focus has a tiny boot for an estate car and this one is filled up with the RS 4WD system so surely there are no benefits in practicality only added weight? Regardless, great build and a cool looking car 👍
