Ford Focus ST crowned Top Gear's Hot Hatch of the Year
The Ford Focus ST has ended 2019 on a high, being crowned Hot Hatch of the Year at the TopGear.com Awards.
It inherits the award given to its Ford Performance sibling last year – the Fiesta ST – and was collected by Ford Performance European Manager, Stefan Muenzinger.
Top Gear’s Hot Hatch of the Year scored highly thanks to its “strong and tuneful” 2.3-litre, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and praised its braking and grip ability, thanks to a “brilliantly integrated diff and well-chosen adaptive damping.”
Top Gear.com:
“The Focus ST has no vices. No weaknesses. No chinks in its armour. It’s a car that stands at your shoulder in any situation, exuding an “I’ve got this” confidence.”
More than 1700 examples have been sold since it went on sale earlier this year, and now evaluations of the 155mph Focus ST estate in police car form are underway, with forces up and down the country set to trial its blend of load-carrying ability.
Well done ford..... let's get those germans
