Ford has announced the launch of its limited edition Focus ST500 in the UK. With a limited run of only 500 examples, the Focus ST500 was designed to echo the Ford GT40s that swept Le Mans in 1966. The ST500 option is more of a visual package than anything else, but builds on the performance-minded Focus ST3 platform.
Power for the ST500 comes from the same 2.5L Duratec found in the Focus ST and pumps out about 225 horsepower. Aside from a black paint scheme with silver racing and side stripes, the ST500 package also includes leather Recaro sports seats, ST500 badging, Xenon headlights and rain-sensing wipers. Pricing for the Focus ST500 starts at £20,495.
