- The 2013 Ford Focus ST comes to the stateside for the first, making it the first time the sporty hatchback – once only available across the Atlantic ocean – will be sold in all markets.
- What does the ST stand for? Sporty Tires? Not even close – it stands for Sports Technologies.
- Power for the 2013 Ford Focus ST comes from a 2.0L EcoBoost 4-cylinder turbo making 247-hp and 265 lb-ft of torque.
- The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and… that’s it – you can only opt for a manual here. No love for those that don’t know what the third pedal is for.
