Alongside the super-powered adaptations associated with the Ford brand name such as the Focus ST as well as Fiesta ST is the new, more tame Ford Focus S. The aforementioned versions are not due till late 2012.
The Focus S, is the go between for the regular Focus and the powerful ST variant. It is a luke warm intermediary.In actual fact, the new Ford Fiesta Zetec-S is perhaps the best performance Ford besides the ST versions, and has been for years.
The interior and options have only taken twelve months to move to the new Focus platform which is a commendable feat in itself.{The new Focus S is fitted with a modified version of the 1.6 lt Eco Boost engine which is included in similar models, yet it is capable of 180hp and 199lb torque when driven with the over boost mode on.it improves the Focus’s 0-62mph time to 7.9 seconds, but It does all this while still retaining the 47mpg fuel economy figures.
In the non badges models A bodykit is the obvious addition, but underneath the car has been treated to stiffened springs and dampers, while the cabin gains sportier front seats and a slightly better standard of trim.
