When did the Ford Focus ST170 come out?

When did the Ford Focus ST170 come out?

The ST170 was a car we missed back in 2002 because we were too damn busy looking at the RS. More fool us though, because the ST170 was there for the taking, and had we done so, we would have loved it. Those who do have one will do nothing but sing their praise – it’s time for you to join them.

What was the name of the new Ford Focus?

The idea was to make an ‘everyman’ hot Ford very much in the spirit of the RS and XR cars before it, though this time its rear would be adorned with the new ST moniker. Ford took the normal Zetec engine and allowed Cosworth to breath upon it.

Is the Ford Focus a hot hatch car?

Hot hatches are always and will always be popular. That said, the ongoing popularity of hot hatches as a whole isn’t a linear affair. Some are instant hits, others take a few years to find their feet and with it, find a following. A case in point would be the car we’re looking at here, namely the Ford Focus ST170.

That took four years to arrive, with the ST170 finally making its debut in the spring of that year. The Zetec saw some work to lift its output, with new forged pistons, dual-length inlet tracts, a new cylinder head with larger inlet valves and stiffer valve springs, with variable intake cam timing and a freer-flowing exhaust system.

What kind of tyres does Ford Focus ST170 have?

Low-profile 215/45/R17 tyres mounted on exclusive 15-spoke, 17×7-inch alloy wheels put the power to the road. The combination gives ST170 a poised stance and precise dynamics capabilities to match.
