We waited impatiently for it, and here it is: Ford has just unveiled the Ford Focus ST at the Frankfurt Auto Show. Soon to be introduced in over 40 markets and on six continents, the car will offer performance and sophistication at a low price, a recipe that has made cars like the Golf GTI a global success over the years.

A 2.0-litre 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine generating 247 horsepower and an impressive 265 lb.-ft of torque can be found under its hood. A six-speed manual gearbox, specially tuned to optimize its performance, will transmit power to the front wheels.

A sport suspension that lowers the Focus ST by 10 mm, a three-mode electronic stability program (dry, wet or snow), and several electronic devices all ensure that the car has exceptional behavior on the road, regardless of surface conditions.

Exterior design cues such as a roof spoiler, side skirts, an exhaust pipe positioned in the centre of the rear bumper and unique 18” wheels further distinguish the Focus ST from other versions of the vehicle.

The wagon is kind of nice too.

Just another nice car Ford won't bring here.. it's a shame.

Edit : I wrote that before reading the article, I took for granted that we wouldn't get it here, looks like I was wrong!
 
Limited slip like on the rs or not? All this torque on a fwd without limited slip is useless lol. I'm kind of interested in it tho.
