These Ford Focus STs are powered by the legendary 2.5 litre five-cylinder turbocharged powertrain.
They produce 166kW at 6 000rpm and have a torque peak of 320Nm.
Mated to a slick-shifting sixspeed transmission the Focus ST moves from 0-100km/h in 6.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 240km/h, it is said.
The ST’s handling has been tailored to reward the enthusiast driver but at the same time allow for refined driving.
Reduced ride height, quicker steering ratios, stiffened front and rear springs and rear antiroll add to the agility and handling characteristics of the car.
