2011 FORD FOCUS ST: POWER DETAILS REVEALED

Command centre looks inviting
Tailpipes point to imminent drama

Details of the all-new upcoming Ford Focus ST are coming in thick and fast. Ford is unveiling the new Focus range at the 2010 Paris International Motor Show, and alongside it will be the hot ST version. Far from producing 190kW, the ST will instead use the new turbocharged 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine worth 184kW.


Remember though that the previous car featured a 2.5-litre engine from Volvo, and it had less power (166kW) than the new one. Of course the company also claims better fuel economy as well. Traditionally the ST has come with front-wheel-drive (FWD) and there is no reason to believe this one won’t either. The car pictured here is said to be coloured in “Tangerine Scream”, whatever that means!

Ford South Africa is expected to introduce the new Focus range early next year, followed by the ST some months later.
