With the Ford Focus ST due for a mid-cycle refresh in Europe, Ford apparently announced a diesel version of their hot hatch at a dinner after Day 1 of the Geneva Auto Show.
AutoExpress reports that the oil-burner will be powered by a
a 2.0 TDCi engine, the diesel ST will have 182bhp (1bhp more than the GTD) and cover 0-62mph in eight seconds – 0.5 seconds slower than the Golf. CO2 emission will be 114g/km, while the chassis will get the same suspension and steering tune as the petrol-powered Focus ST. A 'heavily revised steering mount to reduce wheel hop and eliminate steering thump' has been added, along with new wheels and tyres and further tweaks to improve steering feel.
Photos of the new ST have not been released yet.
