6 speed manual.
No Focus RS ever came with an automatic.

As far as a scatter shield, this may be a first for NHRA. Not sure tho.
If it is a F/Stock car, then it will be the first AWD in that class area that falls under the rules of the rear wheel drive cars.


This is a qoute from a online article about the car:

This led Ford to work with the engineering company GKN on the Torque Vectoring Rear Drive Module (RDM), which looks like a rear differential with electronically controlled but hydraulically actuated clutches on each rear-wheel output. A dedicated computer monitors vehicle sensors 100 times per second and locks and unlocks the clutches given the situation. The clutches allow the Focus RS to transfer up to 100 percent of its available power to the left or right rear wheel within .06 seconds by fully opening one clutch and locking the other, or it can lock the rear axle solid when using launch control.
