Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford) has released the first ad for the company's upcoming Focus ST (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/focus st). The automaker headed to the warm streets of Key West with Tanner Foust (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/tanner foust) and stunt driver Greg Tracy to give spectators a glimpse of the hot hatch's capabilities. The two wheelmen spent the evening tearing around closed sections of city streets with plenty of onlookers on hand, but there's a twist. Instead of relying on a professional film crew to capture the high-horsepower antics, Ford asked those in attendance to submit their own footage of the show. Throw in a little clever editing and we have a solid minute of sideways Focus ST action.
The 2013 Ford Focus ST starts (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/05/01/ford-prices-2013-focus-st-from-24-495/) at $24,495 and offers buyers a rash of go-fast hardware, including a turbocharged, 252-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 270 pound-feet of torque. A torque-steer compensation system keeps the heathen Focus pointed straight, and those willing to pony up a little extra cash can enjoy Recaro (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/recaro) bucket seats indoors. Scroll down (http://www.mnfords.com/2012/06/05/ford-crowdsources-first-focus-st-commercial-for-u-s/#continued) to check out the clever spot for yourself.Continue reading Ford crowdsources first Focus ST commercial for U.S. (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/05/ford-crowdsources-first-focus-st-commercial-for-u-s/)
