Ford Focus ST500

Ford Focus ST500 has been announced as a new special edition arrival of the high performance Focus ST. Priced from 20,495, this Ford Focus ST500 will be available to just 500 UK customers.

The Ford Focus ST500 is based on the top-of-the-range Focus ST3 with the addition of unique features. All Ford Focus ST500 models are finished in metallic black with classic silver bonnet, roof and side stripes which are designed to echo the livery of the winning GT40 in the 1-2-3 victory at Le Mans in 1966.

Since its introduction in 2005, the Focus ST has established itself as one of the finest “hot hatchbacks” ever made and received critical acclaim from the specialist media and enthusiast customers alike.

Power comes from the Focus ST’s acclaimed 20-valve five-cylinder Duratec 2.5 engine, which develops 225PS at 6,100rpm and 320Nm of torque at just 1,600rpm.

Based on sales of over 13,500, the Ford Focus ST is now firmly positioned as the most sought after performance hatchback in the UK, and reflects the motorsport success of the all-conquering Focus RS WRC, which saw Ford take the 2006 WRC manufacturer’s title, and which currently heads the 2007 World Rally Championship.

With scarlet leather Recaro sports seats and matching upholstery, automatic Xenon high-intensity headlamps, special Ford Focus ST500 badging, auto-dimming rear view mirror, rain-sensing wipers and solar-reflect windscreen… those unique specifications are included in the Ford Focus ST500’s.
