Cars with combustion engines are going through one of the best moments of their existence, combining performance, efficiency, and effectiveness like never before – and the recently refreshed Ford Focus ST, one of the last compact “pure and tough” sports cars on the market, is a clear proof of that.
With a combustion engine without any type of electrification, manual gearbox, and that “spine-tingling” feeling that only traditional mechanics, at least for now, can provide, this kind of last of the “Mohicans”, a member of a species doomed to extinction, boasted all the validity of the concept, once again demonstrating that one thing is to be a fast car, like electric ones, and another thing is to be a true sports car.
For fans of the genre, it turns out to be an excellent proposition, even in terms of price, especially when equipped with the excellent optional ST Track package. It’s worth taking advantage of while it’s still possible… Anyone who doubts it, just watch the review done for AutoGear by António de Sousa Pereira, at the Estoril Circuit, of this true “resistant” that is the Ford Focus ST.
