The evolution of the Focus ST goen on....... Ford will reveal all later this month at the Paris Motor Show with this new high-performance hot-hatch.
Packing a striking and appealing stance and a beefy 247bhp turbocharged engine, the ST will sit at the top of the all-new Focus range - that is until the new RS comes around.
The new model eatures a version of the all-new direct-injection 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine, replacing the old 2.5-litre five-cylinder unit, and offers greater power, and more efficiency.
New owners can be promised a 0-60mph time in less than six seconds and a top speed of155mph. A six-speed manual box should emit just 180g/km of CO2.
A huge mesh grille at the front incorporates the muscular bodykit complete with low sills. At the back is a roof spoiler and low rear bumper, allowing twin exhausts to exit through its centre.
The new ST won’t be available as a three-door, however, an estate could join the five-door for the first time.
No Irish release date or prices has been announced as of yet.
