Ford Focus ST Priced at $24,495
By Jake Lingeman
The Ford Focus ST will cost $24,495 when it arrives late this year including $795 in destination fees, if the spec sheet over at FordSTNation.com is to be believed. And we do, because that price is confirmed on Ford's consumer site.
The Focus ST will come with Ford's EcoBoost 2.0-liter engine that will deliver 252 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels. Ford's new Enhanced Torque Vectoring Control is included to help eliminate torque steer on hard acceleration. A six-speed manual is standard.
Upgrading to the sport seats and better radio costs $2,385, while the Recaro full leather seats, topped-out radio and navigation will add about $4,435 to the price.
À la carte options include a moonroof ($895), navigation ($795), Tangerine Scream tricoat paint ($495) and an engine-block heater ($35).
The price and the power line the ST up nicely with the Volkswagen GTI and the Mazda Mazdaspeed 3, which cost $24,765 and $24,795 respectively.
