Post Ford Focus ST UK Track Pack Option

https://www.facebook.com/36941394012...8mtShrMUl/?d=n
“Ford has revealed a new Track Pack for its recently updated Focus ST, giving the midsize hot hatchback some high-spec hardware to rival the Hyundai i30 N and incoming Honda Civic Type R. It’ll be available exclusively on the five-door hatchback fitted with a six-speed manual transmission and costs an extra £3000, lifting the base price to £38,985.

Key changes in the new Track Pack focus on the chassis, with significant hardware upgrades around the brakes, suspension and wheels that will improve capability while marginally reducing weight.

This starts with the suspension upgrade, which swaps out the standard car’s adaptive dampers for a set of manually adjustable coilovers sourced from KW. The dampers are adjustable 12-ways for compression, 16-ways for rebound and come paired to new powder-coated coil springs that are 50 per cent stiffer than standard. The ride height is also manually adjustable, and comes setup 10mm lower than a base ST from the factory, with a further 15mm drop able to be dialled in.

Ford Focus ST Track Edition – wheel7

The new suspension works in conjunction with a set of 19-inch flow-formed alloy wheels that you might recognise from the short-lived ST Edition of the pre-facelift model. These are 10 per cent lighter, reducing unsprung weight and are wrapped in a set of sticky Pirelli P Zero Corsas.

Behind the new wheels are a set of Brembo brakes on the front axle that increase the standard ST’s front discs by 33mm to 363mm, gripped by larger four-piston calipers. All of this new hardware should make the ST Track Pack more resilient on track days, as well as sharpen the already impressive handling balance. “

Default Re: Ford Focus ST UK Track Pack Option

How good is it, too bad you can't get either a Focus ST or a Fiesta ST in Australia anymore because Ford Australia cut them from the range

But Ford Australia CEO says they still have plenty of choice,

Went to look at a Ford dealership yesterday looking for new car for a family member.

Thought something was a bit strange, so took a photo:



Got up closer, then just turned around and didn't even go in - all it had inside the showroom and outside was Ranger and Everest.

Be nice if Ford had something other than Ranger and Everest in its range, if they do well you had me fooled because thats the only two vehicles in their dealership.
