I saw this article on Autoblog and it had this video of the new Focus RS, and I thought it was amazing! It looks like they design a drift car that's comfortable enough to ride around the city when you don't want all out drift.

I'd like to update my opinion on this topic.
From what I've seen of the new one the Focus RS is the European rally car that we have never been allowed to have. And they say it was designed by the people who race Ford in Europe.
2.3 liter turbo that makes 350 hp and 350 ftlbs of torque. Thrust vectored AWD. The say you can flip the switch to drift mode and it will let the back end slide, and then sit and cut donuts in a radius no bigger than the car. And you can keep it up until it burns a hole in the tire.

After you equip it the way I want it would be $45k, about $750 a month. And sadly I could walk in there and they'd approve me to buy one.
I just had to walk away. I want to keep my race car habit at 20 year old Toyota's for now.
