The Ford Focus ST is what is called a “hot hatch,” a hatchback car with performance modifications. They have been widely popular in Europe and are starting to make a strong presence here in the United States. One hot hatch that is quickly becoming popular is the Ford Focus ST.

It wears the badge of a Ford Focus, but is supercharged in almost every way. Its powerhouse is a turbocharged 2.0-liter rated at 252 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. This seemingly small engine pushes the ST from 0-60 in six seconds!

It has what Ford calls an “active sound symposer” to give the exhaust a nice deep growl. It is only available with a six-speed manual transmission, but for most people looking for this type of performance, that isn’t a problem.

Further adding to its performance are 18-inch wheels and an augmented suspension, which give the ST better handling. Topping it all off is the aggressive styling with a distinctive grille, body kit, and rear wing.
