2012 Ford Focus ST
Well look what we found.

Finally a performace small car is coming to the US. We at your favorite Maryland Ford Dealer , Waldorf Ford, are super excited to get our mitts on this baby. We can't wait.

Earlier this year, Ford promised us a hotter version of the all-new Focus, and at this month's Paris Motor Show, the Blue Oval is sticking to its word.

The 2012 Ford Focus ST will be the brand's first high-performance model developed under the watchful eye of its global performance vehicle team, and while the hatch you see here is being billed as a "design study," make no mistake – this will form the basis of the ST coming to market in early 2012.

Power is provided by an EcoBoost 2.0-liter inline four churning out 247 turbocharged horsepower, and Ford promises that the ST's handling and aural delights will live up to the marque's performance heritage. FoMoCo also makes it clear that the ST is bound for "all global markets from early 2012" so those of us in the States should finally get a crack at what's traditionally been a Euro-only affair.

Gains of up to 20 to 25 Ford Mustang horsepower are not uncommon on a mustang. And since we are preparing for future gas increases an extra 1 to 3 miles to the gallon should help out some.
