Meet the most hardcore Ford hatch, the Focus ST Edition
KUALA LUMPUR: Yes, it’s true. The Ford Focus ST Edition is the most hardcore hot hatch the automaker has built to date. With its most highlight part being the new suspension.
Speaking of which the Focus ST Edition comes equipped with a two-way manually adjustable coil-over suspension from KW Automotive. The setup allows for 12 jounce settings (degree of upward damper movement) and 16 rebound settings (the speed at which the damper returns to the position after the upward movement). Don’t worry? The car comes with a ‘technical document’ with preferred settings for various scenarios, like for driving around the Nurburgring.
The Focus ST Edition rides 10 mm lower than the standard ST model, its spring rate is up by 50 percent, and another 20 mm of adjustment. The car runs on lightweight flow-formed alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin rubber, saving 10 kg from each corner
What powers the Ford Focus ST Edition?
The ST Edition features the same 2.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine that powers the standard model. The said mill makes a maximum power of 276 bhp.
On the performance front, the car covers the century sprint in 5.7 seconds before attaining a top speed of 250 kmph.
Ensuring maximum driver engagement and lowest possible weight for optimised precision and control, the ST Edition misses out on diesel mill, automatic gearbox, and an estate bodystyle.
What else? The ST Edition features Azura Blue exterior hue and high-gloss black detailing. The cabin features blue stitching and a red start button.
Price? The car costs £35,785 (approx. RM 210k) which is slightly over the standard manual ST hatch. The order books are now open.
