Audi release murmurs of a new 400bhp hatchback to rival the RS so they step up the heat.
The Ford Focus RS is as much a miracle of engineering as it is marketing, captivating the old RS brand for the now more well off boy racers. Fitting a standard-ish hatchback with a whopping 300 bhp engine and it not falling apart is something to be proud of.
Now Audi have cottoned on and as we reported earlier they may be releasing a massive 400 bhp RS3. Not to be outdone Graham Goode Racing has upped the ante just a little with some clever fine tuning.
The computer geek engineers have used nothing but a computer and an in-depth knowledge of the car to squeeze out 40 more bhp and 72 lb-ft of torque. You can pick up the upgrade for just £435 including VAT which is better than immediately jumping into the expensive Audi.

There are many practical reasons to leasing a car rather than buying one. Car leasing offers lower monthly payments, lower initial deposit, road tax and breakdown recovery. You also have the opportunity to drive a new car every two or three years and all vehicles include the standard manufacturer’s warranty.
Our leasing deals are powered by Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
