from next rally Evans will have a focus rs as recce car.

I was under impression recce cars went sea freight from one long haul event to the next long haul event. While Elfyn is expected to have a Focus RS for recce in Corsica it will be interesting to see what is used as recce car in Argentina & Australia.

I remember reading it in 2015/2016 that M-Sport will retire its Volvo fleet. So, lets wait for it first.
There should be new generation Focus out in near future and RS is discontinued in this month i believe? Hard to believe, but maybe there isn`t such a big demand anymore for those, because of the head-gasket issues and long waiting time (last year was about one year, whereas Leon Cupra and Golf R come as hatchbacks /estates in a much faster time).

A Focus RS is always made in limited numbers... that's part of the reason why it's special.

[Tarmop]

Well, yes, but there is a new generation coming and i believe this is the case here.

The RS always comes towards the end of a model run to boost it's image as its nearing replacement.

The Focus IV probably wont have an RS version til 2021 so expect the current RS recce cars to continue for a while...
