SUSPENDED ANIMATION

Ford has given its excellent Focus ST a shot in the arm by creating the ST Edition that features adjustable suspension and lightened alloy wheels.

The suspension has special twin-tube dampers and springs developed by suspension specialist KW Automotive – and owners get a technical manual explaining how to set the car up for a variety of driving conditions.

There are a multitude of settings to play with including dropping the ride height – already 10mm lower on the ST Edition – by 20mm.

The model also gets unique azure blue paint, gloss black detailing and a black roof.

The Focus ST Edition is on sale now from £35,785.
