The first Ford Focus RS has been spotted in the U.S., and in Royal Oak, Michigan of all places. However we here at Top Speed are familiar with those manufacturer tags, and know that the M in the middle of the license plate means exactly that, manufacturer.

Hopefully this employee of the Ford Motor Company will be able to come up with some rationale as to why the 300 HP hot hatch should be sold stateside. Hear that development engineer, or marketing guy or even some executive's kid. Go back to where you got this car from and don't stop pleading until the order is placed to bring 1000 or so of these 2.5 Liter turbocharged RS's over to this side of the pond.
