BRENTWOOD, Essex, 15 February, 2005 -A striking all-new Ford Focus ST performance model and elegant new Focus 4-door dominates the news from Ford at the 75 th Salon International de L’Automobile in Geneva. PREVIEWING THE NEW FOCUS ST Exciting all-new ST (Sport Technologies) Focus on sale towards the end of 2005 Turbocharged Duratec ST 2.5-litre 5-cylinder engine will deliver around 220PS Head-turning design signals sporting intent, but Focus ST remains practical for everyday use Sporty interior communicates purpose and emotion New Focus provides a strong base for performance road cars

Not a great deal - 2 HP (I think at the wheels which I believe translates to about 5-6 BHP normally?) and an extra 4 FtLb Torque.

Right - car went in today and it ended up that the 2 litre one fitted mine with no modifications!!! - Sounds awesome - sounds like it has a dump valve fitted now :)

Well you wanna try mine then :P

Waiting for them to get back to me now the niggles have been sorted but called twice and no-one has returned the call :(

Yeah brand new Mondeo ST mate so should be OK....Would I need to show them the above then? Thanks again

Pichacker - do you know if this is available on Mondeos??? wouldn't mind it on my ST.

I think that reprogramming is for the doors - i.e. push once only the drivers door opens - press again they all do.

Car will be going in soon - just gotta get the dealer to sort a few niggles first.

hehehe speculation speculation!!! Wonder if Auto Express gets their 'exclusives' from Ford Dealers ??? :)

If they say how much do you want for it say 'the same as the price for the new one - now you do me your best deal!' Puts them on the back foot - but be sat down - the residuals are going to go thru the floor - thank god I sold my ST a year or so ago - and at a profit (compared to privilege prices!!)

I would have took the MKII - would have been worth it in the long run.

Yeah the Mondeo ST TDCi....Filled the forms in.....and I don't live that far away

I have the ST!

I didn't really like the MKI Focus until I actually got up close and personal.... And I don't mind the MKII since I've had a C-Max which is pretty much the same.

Same as mine

Then go back to your dealers saying you have a problem in which you believe a software update will fix....If they put it on their machines it will download this latest one wont it?

You just get a cover where the lighter would be.

Its a cracking engine only let down by the MPG (I got nowhere near what Ford stated) - apart from that it was great (Got the 2.2 TDCi ST Mondeo now).

Bit OTT a roof box for a child ? :P :x :lol:

Think theres pics on Fords www

I had the same Zetec-S before I bought my ST170 - Loved it....yeah it was * * * * on juice but why u buy a 2.5 litre v6 if u were arsed about fuel economy!! Lee - no pics yet - will try and get some v soon... Initial suggestions is the Mondeo will be better on juice than my 2 litre cmax - if thats the case Im even happier !!!!!

No it was a new unit.

:) I'll be the one at the front !

Of?
