2013 Ford Focus ST
2013 Ford Focus ST - The Focus ST Spectacle pitted two drivers tearing across Key West from the Atlantic to the Gulf. Spectators caught the action on video and submitted it to us. We cut it into a short film that looks like it was shot by some Hollywood director.Ford's 2013 Focus ST offers a highly adjustable cornering attitude.
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.
The 2013 Ford Focus ST, which will be available this summer, will come equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine pumping out 247 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed manual transmission and 18-inch wheels. It will have three-mode stability control and available Recaro seats.
