Ford Focus ST

I was looking around to see what new cars there are in europe (i was born in Croatia and lived there for 4 years, and also lived in Germany for 10 years…)

So i was browsing the usual, Opel, Peugot, Renault, etc…so i thought i should check out Ford Germany…

So i was shocked to see a nice Ford (not ripping on Fords)

It’s mostly in german but here are some translations for you non-german speaking ppl.

It has a 2.5L Duratec 5 Cylinder that puts out 166kw or 225 HP at 6000 rpm.
Top speed is at 241km/h and 320Nm (newton/meter) or 236lb ft torque at 1600 rpm. Does 0-60mph in about 6.8 seconds (0-100km/h) seems kinda slow.

If they had those here, i would definately rock on!

Here are the links.

The Euro Focus ST is pretty hot. It’s essentially a reskinned Volvo S40.

Sweet Daewoo

It’s a shame the USDM Focus ST is complete shit compaired to that.
