Ford has published further information for those looking to get behind the wheel of the new Focus ST.
The hotly-anticipated motor will be released in the UK on June 1st and will come with a starting price of £21,995 on the road for the hatchback version, while the estate model will start at £23,095.
Those opting for the Blue Oval's latest incarnation of the popular Focus will benefit from a direct-injection two-litre, all-alloy, turbocharged, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine.
As such, the new Focus offers an impressive 250PS, while still appealing to eco-conscious drivers.
Indeed, the new model is capable of returning 39.2mpg and offers CO2 emissions of just 169g/km.
Mark Ovenden, Ford Britain managing director, said: "Ever since the arrival of the legendary GT40, Britain has become the spiritual home for performance Fords - and demand from UK enthusiast customers has always been strong.
"This latest Focus ST is a global car that will excite customers around the world – but especially those in Britain."
