Ford is currently testing a new Focus ST that will debut in The United States. The ST is the sport version of the Ford Focus, and it can have a sport suspension and far more powerful motor. This one may be worth the wait, but it can be out fairly soon. The ST can be at dealerships by 2012.
When the United States gets to see the new Ford Focus
A performance version of the Ford Focus, the Focus ST, is currently undergoing worldwide testing to stoke demand for the auto before it debuts in late 2011, according to USA Today. There will be good suspension and horsepower from the care. Ford has dispatched about 60 prototypes to various areas, including a few in the United States, to undergo testing and to promote awareness of the new car. There are black spots on silver with the car in photos that have been seen. You may have even seen the new Focus ST if you saw a Focus lower to the ground that has great turning and is oddly colored.
About the engine
The motor in the new Focus ST isn’t known. It is the same as other Focus automobiles. Until 2004, the Focus SVT was sold in the U.S. It had a 2.7 liter, five-cylinder motor that put out 227 horsepower, according to MotorTrend. Other focus models have 2.0 liter inline four cylinder engines. The Focus ST will only be different in that it can have the Ecoboost version with direct injections. The ST is rated to generate a tooth-rattling 246 horsepower and 250 foot-pounds of torque. There may also be Electric Power Help on the Ford car. It can have racing suspension to help. It is expected that it will cost in the upper Ford model range in cost, although it hasn’t gotten priced yet. The most expensive Focus, according to the Ford website, is the Titanium package, which costs just less than $23,000.
London calling
The United States may be excited to have the performance Focus. It isn’t the first Ford has made though. The ST is a performance-oriented compact automobile as a hatchback, making it a European vehicle that several want. Wikipedia states that the Focus ST has been accessible since 2005 in Australia and Europe with its five cylinder 2.5 liter motor. Soon the ST will hit international markets while the Focus itself is being re-released by Ford as an international model. The new Focus on sale in London is the same automobile for sale in Melbourne and Los Angeles. The British love the Ford Focus, although it sells well in The United States too. Top Gear explains the United Kingdom has made the auto one of its best-selling automobiles. In Britain, it was the third best in 2010. Other Ford Vehicles do well too. The Ford Fiesta was on top.
