This is one of the most eagerly anticipated hot hatchbacks for a long time – it is the new Ford Focus ST! Powered by a direct-injection 2.0-litre, all-alloy, turbocharged, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, the new Ford Focus ST develops 250PS, yet remains capable of returning 39.2mpg and CO2 emissions of 169g/km – 20 per cent better than its predecessor.
Other sporting features include a unique suspension setup, a variable speed steering system, performance brakes, a unique paint job and a trapezoidal front grill demonstrating the performance nature of the car.
“Ever since the arrival of the legendary GT40, Britain has become the spiritual home for performance Fords – and demand from UK enthusiast customers has always been strong,” said Mark Ovenden, Ford Britain managing director. “This latest Focus ST is a global car that will excite customers around the world – but especially those in Britain.”
The Ford Focus ST will go on sale from 1st June 2012, priced from £21,995 on the road. I have no doubt that this will fly out of the showrooms.
