The British crime thriller, The Sweeney (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0857190/), was centered around two cops tooling around in an unmarked, blacked-out, five-door, Ford Focus ST (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/focus+st/). It's only logical, then, that Ford serve pent-up demand for a true police-spec Focus ST.
Reporting for official duty is the Ford Focus ST estate, complete with full cop livery, LED light bar and a mobile data terminal.
Ford says the 2.0-liter 252-horsepower EcoBoost can propel pursuing police to 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds and top out at 154 mph.
The one-off demonstrator was paraded out at the National Association of Police Fleet Managers' (http://www.napfmevent.org.uk/) (NAPFM) Conference and Blue Light Fleet Exhibition in Peterborough recently.
"With the Ford Focus ST being seen so publicly on cinema screens nationwide, the timing for this 'official' version couldn't be better," said Terry Adams, Ford's Direct Sales Manager for Police, Fire & Ambulance in the press release. "At the NAPFM show we displayed the car's crime-fighting talents to police transport managers and took bookings for demonstrations."
