New Ford Focus ST (2012): The Video

2012 Ford Focus ST - Video below

There’s nothing quite like signposting a new car well ahead of its reveal, and Ford are taking no chances on the 2012 Ford Focus ST with some teasers ahead of the Paris Motor Show reveal and a bit of detail at Paris.

Even though the 2102 Focus ST won’t be ready to roll in to showrooms and out to customers for at least a year, we do have some gen on the oily bits. For example, we know thet the Volvo 2.5 litre lump that did sterling service in the old ST is being dropped in favour of the 2.0 litre EcoBoost.

The 2.0 litre EcoBoost will deliver 247bhp – a 10% increase on the current ST – despite which it will be 20% less polluting and 20% more economical. Which is not a bad recipe. We also know it will get lowered and that the suspension will be sorted to offer what Ford call ‘…acclaimed ST handling’

But Ford don’t want to tell us a huge lot more. Apart from the fact that it’s launch colour looks like it will be ‘Tangerine Scream’ and the 2012 Focus ST will be going to North America. Even if the subsequent Focus RS doesn’t.

And now Ford has given us a video of the 2012 Focus ST in all its orangeness. For your delight and delectation.
