2008 Ford Focus ST Facelift


Yesterday, we showed you the limited run Ford Focus ST500 which went on sale in the UK. Today, Brit magazine Autoexpress has unleashed the first official images of the redesigned 2008 Focus ST which is expected to go on sale in Europe during the first quarter of 2008. As with the standard versions of the 2008 Focus which was unveiled at this year’s Frankfurt Show (click here), the new ST features cleaner looks thanks to the Mondeo-style front end while changes at the rear include the new diffuser-style bumper, along with the revised tailgate and tail-lamps. -Continued after the jump

Changes inside the 2008 Focus ST include a new set of instruments, revised controls for the stereo and ventilation and, and a new grained soft-touch synthetic material on the entire instrument panel, as well as the upper trims of the front doors. In terms of mechanical changes, the new ST retains the same 2.5-liter turbocharged engine as before. The 5-cylinder unit produces 220 Hp propelling the current ST from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,8 seconds (0 to 60mph in 6.5 seconds) while its top speed is 241 km/h or 150 mph.
