Ford has confirmed that the car will be the star of its stand, but there will also be a concept car on show that the company says gives a glimpse of its future. Stephen Odell, chairman and CEO, Ford of Europe, said: "Ford plans to make a strong statement at the Frankfurt Motor Show, with several very exciting global product reveals and our significantly expanded show stand. We're excited to be showing customers our best-ever vehicle line-up and a special glimpse of the future."
The new Focus ST has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine, doing away with the previous model's five-cylinder lump. It has 250hp and drives through a six-speed manual gearbox, and it's thought Ford will not offer a double-clutch transmission for the ST. However, an estate version is likely to sit alongside the five-door model.
