WITH the new Ford Focus coming in the new year, Ford has launched a high specification special edition run-out Focus that will continue to be available throughout next year alongside the new model, combining sporty style with a comprehensive feature list.

The added style and technology features combine to create a striking, great-to-drive all-rounder. Priced at £700 above the Zetec, the attractive Focus Sport offers comfort and convenience with £1,500 of extra standard equipment.

This includes satellite navigation with European mapping, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, voice control, parking distance sensors, 16in ST-style alloy wheels, auto headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and self-dimming rear-view mirror.

The Focus Sport is available in the five-door bodystyle with a choice of the two most popular engines, the 1.6 litre 100PS petrol manual and the 1.6 litre 109PS TDCi manual.

The Titanium seat fabric New York Ebony can be found inside while outside there is a choice of six body colours including Vision Blue. David Calder, product manager Ford of Britain, said: “We wanted to create a stylish and practical package which represented outstanding value for money, and the Focus Sport delivers that.

This is a vehicle that should appeal to our retail and fleet customers alike, and will continue to be offered alongside all-new Focus through 2011.”

On-the-road prices are £16,545 for the 1.6 litre petrol and £17,845 for the 1.6 litre TDCi.
