I am really getting sick of these “teaser” shots. Everyone seems to be doing it. Porsche did it with the launch of the revised Cayenne. Most of the current pictures of the WRX STI are a dark car, hidden in shadows. But this isn’t about creepy teaser shots. This is about the most bad ass Ford STI Focus RS. I mean this thing just looks wicked. It has bigger shoulders than Mark MacGuire (circa 2003). The bumper, the hood and the arches give this thing an incredible stance. It will be using the five cylinder turbo sourced from Volvo. Rumors suggest the car will be a Montana ranch with 280 horses.

Quick edit: Jalopnik is on the exact same page as us, specifically, linking the pictures of the Cayenne and STI.  You know what they say about great minds…

It is said to come standard with 19 inch wheels, a semi-active limited-slip diff, upgraded springs, dampers and anti-roll bars. The car will go on sale sometime in 2009. The biggest disappointment is that it will only be sold in Europe.
