With 252bhp of turbocharged power, the Focus ST is the current king of the hot hatch brigade. For 2015, Ford hasn’t messed with the formula much; the updated version showcased at the Goodwood Festival of Speed has been treated to new fascias that bring it in line with the new facelifted Focus.
The engine is unchanged but the suspension has been comprehensively with new front springs, shocks and a ‘sportier tune’ plus revised electric power steering.
Inside, the centre console has been tweaked to have fewer buttons while the steering wheel now has a flat bottom to, er….clear the stomachs of more generously proportioned owners? Ford claims there’s more storage space and faster USB charging while a rear view camera now comes as standard. There’s also a new 18-inch wheel alloy design and a new shade of silver for boring people who can’t stop buying exciting cars in nondescript colours.
