Focus ST* delivers true performance in every aspect, combining power with precision, strength with agility, force with finesse. ST has a signature sound and feel due to its high-output, 252-horsepower 2.0L EcoBoost® engine which also helps ST achieve best-in-class manual fuel economy honors.* High-performance brakes and a uniquely tuned sport suspension make Focus ST stop and turn as quickly as it goes. This is a vehicle that’s been reworked in its entirety to forge a perfectly balanced blend of refined engineering and undiluted adrenaline. Focus ST Sessions: What makes an ST an ST?
The Focus ST is also a work in progress. Ford invited us to Belgium to witness the late stages of the car’s development. What’s left to do at this point is the fine tuning, the detail work that separates a great car from one that’s merely good. Under the hood lies Ford’s direct-injected, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, bookended by redesigned intake and exhaust systems. U.S.-market output figures have not been announced—it doesn’t go on sale here until late 2012—but the engine makes 247 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque in Europe.
