The private seller offers for sale this 2016 Ford Focus ST, powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder TDCi turbodiesel engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. This is the facelifted third-generation Focus ST, the first generation of the Ford Performance hot hatch to be offered with a diesel engine, a response to strong European demand for sporty compacts that can cover long distances on modest fuel consumption. Its 2.0-litre Duratorq unit produces 185 hp and 400 Nm of torque, which makes for strong, immediate pull from low revs and flexible acceleration in the six-speed gearbox.
The ST badge has stood for Ford’s “Sport Technologies” philosophy since the early 2000s: a hatchback that works as daily transport but is built on a chassis sharpened by Ford Performance. Compared with the ST-Line trim, a genuine ST has a lowered sport suspension, quick variable-ratio steering and Torque Vectoring Control, which helps to limit understeer in corners. The seller reports that this example belongs to the limited Black Series, a numbered run of only 50 cars, and that it carries number 48. It is finished in black with silver racing stripes running over the bonnet, roof and tailgate, and dark alloy wheels.
Inside, the cabin has the Recaro sport seats that characterise the ST, in black leather with grey cloth and bolsters, and the three auxiliary gauges on top of the dashboard that show boost pressure, oil temperature and oil pressure. The car is offered with a recorded 102000 km and, according to the seller, combines the feel of an ST chassis with average fuel consumption of around 5 to 5.8 litres per 100 km, which sets it apart from the petrol EcoBoost version in everyday use. For enthusiasts looking for a rare, numbered and practical hot hatch, this Focus ST is a distinctive proposition.
