Set for debut at the Leipzig Motor Show (really?), the RS500 achieves a 15% power increase to 350 HP and 340 lb-ft of torque thanks to a larger air-to-air intercooler, bigger exhaust, and upgraded software to go with all of it. This lets the little hatch achieve a 0-to-60 MPH time of just 5.6 seconds.

And just like the original Ford, it only comes in black. Matte black. Unfortunately, just like the original Focus RS you can't get it here. Sad panda? You betcha.
