2012 Ford Focus ST

RDY4WAR · September 16th, 2010, 08:03 PM

Previewing the exciting new Focus ST

At the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, Ford Motor Company's group vice president for Global Product Development, Derrick Kuzak, promised that an exciting new performance version of the next generation Ford Focus was in development.

At Paris, Ford is delivering on that promise by revealing an early preview model of the exciting next-generation Ford Focus ST. Targeted for launch in all global markets from early 2012, the all-new Ford Focus ST will be Ford's first high-performance model developed under its global Performance Vehicles strategy.

The new range-topping Focus – which features a unique 250PS version of the 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost engine – will be completely true to Ford's ST heritage, offering driving enthusiasts an intoxicating cocktail of exhilarating performance and handling accompanied by an addictive sound.

Visitors to the Paris display also cannot fail to notice the show car’s highly distinctive sports exterior, which is finished in 'Tangerine Scream', a dramatic new body colour that reflects the new ST’s exciting and energetic character.

The new ST is going to be replacing the RS as a global performance model.

So fuck it, ricer body kits are ok if they have intercoolers?

Ace417 · September 16th, 2010, 08:42 PM

Might be making a trade if this gets here soon.

mustangfu · September 16th, 2010, 08:57 PM

The front is different, but I kind of like it. I like it because... it looks different. Not cut out of the mold.

chris247 · September 16th, 2010, 09:00 PM

It kinda looks like a prius with a body kit

Dap1991 · September 16th, 2010, 09:21 PM

Finally.... I wonder why it took them this long to offer the best version in america

sickfox · September 16th, 2010, 09:23 PM

I guess the good thing is, there will be bad ass after market front bumper for it!

As long as its form over function and whomever has said body kit knows it looks like ass and could give a shit less because it works.

navyman8903 · September 16th, 2010, 10:07 PM

Dude, fuck yes! I am getting one I think.........for a daily driver. You know......

sikedsyko · September 17th, 2010, 12:36 AM

Want 300hp model!

I'll be all over one of these if I can actually get a leather and carbon fiber wrapped dash, and it's under 30 grand

JakeM · September 17th, 2010, 12:39 AM

All this talk about looks... Think of the segment its in. Does a EVO or STI look pretty? Hell no. But they run like rapped ape's and thats all that matters... As long as this one can hang that is. If its anything like the RS is than this one will have no problem.

skuzzy · September 17th, 2010, 12:42 AM

id would love to have one

Fuzzy Dice · September 17th, 2010, 12:51 AM

Its an awesome car, i really like, if i had enough money i would definatly get that for a DD and garage the Stang. Lots of power(for that car a least), very nice interior, and it looks pretty good on the outside too, i love the exhaust and the wheels.

It kinda remind me of Ken Blocks Fiesta a little. Should be interesting what they do to the Fiesta for 2012

RDY4WAR · September 17th, 2010, 08:14 AM

It's got me in limbo. Do I sell my turbo'd Focus and get a ST or do I build my motor and put 350-400whp? lol
