REVIEW: The Ford Focus Track Pack adds special suspension and other exciting modifications - do they imrpvoe an already excellent hot hatch?
If I owned this car, I’m sure I would do this frequently enough to see what difference it would make. Rampless in a Welsh lay-by, though, I left everything in its default, Ford- recommended settings.
Mechanically, everything else remains the same – which is no bad thing. The engine is a 2.3-litre turbo petrol four making 276bhp, driving the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox., but gratifyingly you can have the Track Pack only as a manual hatch. It costs £3000 on the ST’s base £36,950 and includes some obligatory visual changes. The roof spoiler, rear diffuser, front bumper inserts, front grille, roof and door- mirror caps are in high-gloss black.
It has been a minute since I last drove a Focus ST and I never got to try the Edition, but ‘Track Pack’ suggested to me something much firmer than the finely controlled yet acceptably pliant road car that has arrived here. There’s no harshness. Engineers talk about the merits of expensive damping, and on the aftermarket, these KW coilovers cost around £2300 fitted. But it takes a car like this to see what they mean, creating a blend that seems to have no excess crash yet retains a level of sophisticated control that means crests and bumps are just shrugged off. It’s really terrific, and Ford’s standard settings hold up well on a track, too.
