Ford Focus ST test drive at ELITE Speedway Circuit
Ford Malaysia recently offered test drives of its first global performance car, the all-new Focus ST to 60 Malaysians at ELITE Speedway circuit, Subang.
The drivers got to experience the Focus ST's 2.0-litre, 244bhp 340Nm turbo charged engine which delivers 0-100km/h in 6.5 sec and has a top speed of 248km/h out on the track.
Ford describes their range-topping all-new Focus ST as delivering an exhilarating combination of outstanding performance, handling, refinement and style in a muscular and aerodynamic design. Innovation and technology combine to create driving dynamics capable of exceeding the expectations of even the most demanding auto enthusiast.
“The all-new Focus ST is a really exciting car for Ford, it being the first performance model to be built upon the design and technology strengths of our One Ford strategy,” said David Westerman, regional manager, Asia Pacific, Ford Export & Growth Operations. “ST represents an ultimate expression of Focus driving quality and performance. It is a car built for driving enthusiasts around the world – and in Malaysia – and they will not be disappointed.”
According to automotive data intelligence provider Polk, the all-new Focus ST was the best-selling hot hatch in Europe over the last three months of 2012, representing 44% of the hot hatch market.
Response to Ford Malaysia's on-track test drive was so good that Ford Malaysia is planning additional Focus ST drive sessions in the near future.
