Mere minutes after receiving word that
Volvo would begin producing the
C30 hatch, we've been speculating about the possibility of a performance version that would evolve the stylish three-door into a
GTI competitor. The announcement that
Ford is developing a new
Focus RS has given us even more reason to be hopeful. Pure speculation and performance prognostication says that the 2.5-liter turbocharged mill shouldn't be an issue since it's already fitted into the C30 and its platform siblings, the
Focus ST and
S40, plus, all-wheel-drive could be part of the equation.
A 300 hp C30R has the potential of joining the Mazdaspeed3 as another way of satiating our desire for a hot Focus, and if the price, we're smelling a hit.
