Spied: Ford Focus RS

[Kitdy]

I was just thinking - what is the most powerful production FWD car?

I can't think of any with 300 hp other than the RS.

What were the V8 Toronado's (sp?) making?

[fpv_gtho]

Up to 400hp gross and 500ft/lbs torque.

Wasn't it the Aurion TRD?

[Kitdy]

I forgot about the Eldorado. With the 500 ci engine, it was rated at 400 gross hp.

So the answer is: we don't know for sure.

doesn't america have a FWD V8 impala?

Wasn't it the Aurion TRD?

i think that's around 300hp too, but must have a sizeable amount of torque too i'd assume.

Just looked into it, 7th and 8th gen Impalas are FWD, the 8th gen has a 303 hp LS4.

241kw so 320hp~, but its only 400nm torque. The Toronado's had 680nm+

That's true but it was the gross rating so in reality could be considerably less than that - I would say around 600 Nm roughly.
