Focus ST official pic
The car is said to be powered by a 2.5l turbocharged I5 producing roughly 220hp.

2.5l and only 220hp? :roll: What's up with modern technology? This engine should produce 250 without problems....

It looks fantastic with this colour and wheels.But i don`t think it`s going to get 2.5engine.I`ve read that they are planning to but 2.0turbo, same engine they used in focus rs.

It's quite a soft tune...I reckon the torque curve will be pretty flat and the power very accessible on the other hand...Higher power figure is being saved for the RS version btw.

I thought Ford already canceled the RS version. Either way this looks really good, with enough power to be competative. Too bad it will never see American shores.

The RS Focus has not been shelved. The RS Fiesta has, but there is a possibility that it may still make production!
As for the engine, Ford always under quote the power. Mainly so that the car will fit into lower insurance groups. I would have thought it will be close to 230bhp. Even then, the new Duratec engine will be increadibly tunable.

turbo 2.5L I5? They're putting the T5 from volvo into the Focus??? Not sure whether it's a good or bad thing. The engine will be literally bulletproof but I'm sure jeremy will make a good joke out of that
Very nice car nonetheless, too bad they probably won't sell it in north america. The current gen "revised" focus is boring.

The car is really beautiful Much better than the original Focus mk2.
The front bumper is similar to the new Ibiza Cupra
But a 2.5L engine, turbo, with just 220 hp ?!?! The previous RS had a 2.0L with 220hp. This should be the specs of the new ST, in order to fight the Golf GTi and the new Astra OPC.
And what about the new Focus RS ?? If the ST will have a 2.5L, what engine will have the RS ??? Even bigger ?? :shock:
