Focus RS WRC 08
decoration
Second evolution of the new-shape Focus originally introduced in form of Focus RS WRC 06 in Rally Australia 2005. As with evolutions, changes remain small.

Aesthetic changes in front grille are related to slightly changed looks of the base car - interestingly these changes for the rally car are achieved by taping the headlights and painting are above the air intake grille. Reportedly, car also had new crankshaft and turbo in a quest to increase range of available power.
