The 300bhp club

Focus RS, Lexus GS450h, VW Touareg V10 SE, Ariel Atom Supercharged, John Deere 8430, Fleetwood Pace Arrow (Issue 1,062)

300bhp club

What do a Ford Focus RS, John Deere tractor and supercharged Ariel Atom have in common? They all produce around 300bhp. That simple entry requirement saw one of the wackiest group tests of 2009, as our testers got behind the wheel of six 300bhp machines to mark the UK arrival of Ford’s super-hatch. The line-up also included a diesel SUV and a luxurious motorhome. Log on to www.autoexpress.co.uk to see quite possibly the strangest drag race in Auto Express history!
