Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday

Hot on the trail of recent successes with Focus WRC, Ford unleashes Focus ST. pinching one of Volvo's high torque turbo mill (from S40 T5), the 2.5L 5-cylinder motor pushes 220ps and 378Nm enabling the 6-speed manual Focus ST to sprint from 0-100km/h in mere 6.5 sec. top speed could hit a high of 240km/h. interior is equally intense boasting deep bucket seats, a turbo boost gauge, drilled alloy pedals, and plenty of 'sporty' aluminium highlight (huh?)Contest will come from the crowd of VW Golf GTi, Megane Sport, Astra VXR and of course the newer but lesser Mazda3 MPS, Civic Type-R - will the Focus ST reign supreme as the ultimate hot hatch? the verdict is out there.
