For some, seat covers aren’t the most stylish accessory you can add to your vehicle, but they have a lot of value in keeping your interior in top notch shape. Some seat covers do have fancy patterns and colors that spice up your interior, but their main purpose is to keep your car’s seats clean. Whether protecting against spills, dirt, mud, or even sweat, seat covers come in a variety of prices and materials, so they’re not as easy to shop for as you may initially think. Read More

We knew a fair bit about the Ford Focus ST and had a pretty good idea of how it looks. However, today, we can show you the real deal, with production paint and wheels, the hot hatch that you will soon be able to buy.

Several images of an uncamouflaged prototype have leaked out. And judging from where the steering wheel is located, these were taken in Europe, perhaps at the Cologne factory, where so much Focus revealing has taken place. The last bit of information came from Australia, a sticker where confirmed that the hot hatch would indeed be powered by a 2.3-liter turbo engine.

Like the weight of a pro boxer, the displacement of the Focus ST has fluctuated a lot over the years, from 2.5-liter five-cylinder to a 2-liter and now the Mustang engine. Speaking of which, the ST is believed to develop as much power as the entry-level pony in Europe: 290 PS and 440 Nm (324 lb-ft). That puts it right up there with the Megane RS, Hyundai i30 N, and Leon Cupra.

A 6-speed manual will be standard, but an automatic will also be available, even on this gasoline-powered model. The diesel Focus ST has been confirmed too, believed to develop around 190 HP. The performance gap between the two will be sizable.

These photos from Ford tuner Pumaspeed show that the boy kit is nearly identical to the ST-Line. However, we do see revisions to the fog light area and twin exhaust pipes around the back. The size of the trunk wing has also increased a bit, matching the performance aspiration of the car. The hatch has also been fitted with gunmetal lightweight 18-inch alloys and bigger brakes.

The interior is exactly what you'd expect from a fast Ford: not that modified. Upgrades over the standard Focus only include Recaro seats with ST logos and the steering wheel. You might also notice that the e-brake panel is missing.

The hottest of the new generation Focus models, till the RS arrives, should have what it takes to be a class leader

The all-new Ford Focus may have only been with us for a scant few months but Ford is already going through the final testing phases with its hotter, and significantly more a version, the ST. We’ve seen the new ST testing at the Nürburgring before but it now carries significantly less in the way of disguise and we can glean some more details about the car’s design.

It’ll need to be good as the new ST is up against some tough rivals from the likes of the next generation Golf GTI (expected in 2020), the Peugeot Sport 308 GTi and more recent rivals such as the Hyundai i30 N. The new Focus certainly has an entertaining chassis in the more powerful models thanks to its multi-link rear suspension set up and the firmer ST-Line models have already demonstrated it can be a fine steer. With more power on tap in the full-fat ST and a chassis that has been further revised and enhanced it should put the Focus back on the performance hatch map until the daddy, the all-new Focus RS, arrives.

As far as the new ST’s styling is concerned there appear to be no body in white changes but the front apron has a more aggressive design with more scoops and ducting to bring cooling air to the engine and brakes. The sill extensions look to be the same as those fitted to the ST-Line models but at the rear there’s a more aggressive rear spoiler while the rear diffuser is a new design and features twin-exit exhausts – one either side – rather than the old ST’s centre exit set up.

There’s no confirmed word from Ford as to which of its engines will power the new ST but we’re expecting an output in the region of... [Read More]
