RevoKnuckle never made it to the US. It was only used on the Europe-only 2nd. gen. Focus RS, and who knows if Ford will make a 3rd. gen. Focus RS (or if they'll sell it in the US if they do).
The article does say the GM Hi-Per strut has been used on the turbo Regal GS and top-level LaCrosse.
Looks a lot like Toyota's Superstrut from the late '90s.

"Toyota coined the term Super Strut for a suspension with extra capability used on a few hot Celicas sold in the late 1990s (but not imported to the U.S.)."
I read an article the the 2014 Fiesta ST has something like that.
That was an interesting read. Thanks for posting.
While torque steer has always been one of the reasons I shun front drive cars, I have never given much thought to where it actually comes from or how to minimize it. The article goes a ways towards clarifying.

It was also used on AE111 2-doors (again, not imported into the US). Well known for being a parts-sourcing nightmare.
