15 May 2011|6,673 views
The car is being tested in Europe and North America, as Ford continues its “One Ford” strategy by developing the same model to suit North American, European and Asian markets. The new Focus ST is expected to be launched by 2012.The Focus ST will be powered by a 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine that produces 250bhp, and is claimed to have better fuel efficiency than the previous ST’s 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine. The Focus ST is jointly developed by Ford’s RS and SVT engineering teams, and was first previewed as a concept at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.
Ford says that about 60 prototypes of the Focus ST are currently undergoing testing and development work in various locations in Europe and North America. “We’ve done all the engineering groundwork, and now we’re using some of the most demanding roads we can find in Europe and North America to validate and fine tune the performance and driving dynamics,” said Jost Capito, Ford's director of Global Performance Vehicles.
The most recent test took place in Northern Europe, where the development team completed cold weather testing and worked on refining steering performance, as the new Focus ST will feature the Electric Power Assist Steering system. The car will also sport upgraded seats which will offer lower seating position and better lateral support.
