2012 Ford Focus ST
Last Updated:
The Focus family picture wasn’t really complete without the new ST model.
It also mean there will be no 2 door Focus around with the new generation. Like the current Euro ST.
Offering 250hp from the new Ecoboost 2.0 Liter.
In line with the Mazdaspeed3. But the 2.0 Liter Turbo in the Solstice offered over 260hp…
How much torque??? Ford did'nt release that bit of info yet but that's what I want to know so I can compare it to the Regal GS motor.
This is insanely sweet – especially in Tangerine. Bring it & I buy (assuming MS3-like pricing). This is the type of stuff I want from Ford.
An intake, downpipe and tune w/extra boost should give 280-290 HP if the Ford internals can take it.
It would be cool to see a ST version of the normal Focus sedan.
I also think that the range-topping RS version will probably peak 300 hp. With AWD, this could be a STI / Evo challenger. Can't wait to see it in person 🙂
I absolutely hate that color. But that car is stunningly great!
Don't forget that this WILL come to the U.S. in 2012.
Some people are worried about the end in 2012.
This Focus will bring the end for sure …. the end to the horrible Focus we have now.
Good riddance.
The Euro Ford Focus RS500 comes with a 2.5 litre, 350bhp, 460nm engine
Yes please!
Very cool indeed. Problem is, in Canada a fully equipped Mazdaspeed3 is upwards of $35K. I'm assuming this will be priced similarly, and just how do you explain to people that you spent that kind of coin on a Focus???
Like it, 250 in a car that size is plenty!
I think it's going to be a hurdle for people to think about the Focus as a premium small car. Hopefully, once they see it, they'll forget about the previous generation.
I really like this a lot! Damn this is nice. It appeals to me in the same way that the Mk1 and Mk2 GTI did.
