Track Pack upgrades sharpen the FordPerformance Focus ST's already-capable formula, but it still lacks the outright engagement of some rivals -
The Track Pack ST certainly projects a suitably serious level of intent. Much like the ST Edition, there is gloss black on the rear wing, diffuser, winglets in the front bumper, the roof and mirror caps, all complemented by black wheels and red calipers. It sits nearer the ground, too: some 10mm as delivered from the factory, but you can adjust that by a further 15mm if you see fit.
With its lower ride height and 50 percent stiffer spring rates it’s no surprise that the Track Pack seems a lot firmer riding than the standard car. In fact, the initial impression is of a car that’s quickly going to become wearing in everyday use, feeling particularly stiff-limbed over our unremittingly poor UK road surfaces. However, once you’re above 30mph the ride smooths out considerably, and at motorway speeds it’s a surprisingly comfortable way to cover miles.
Unfortunately, what hasn’t changed are the two key flaws that have always blighted this ST: the engine’s characteristics and the steering. Taking the EcoBoost motor first, it’s certainly not short on urge, as its 276bhp, 310lb ft and the 0-62mph time of 5.7 seconds that it delivers all attest.
All-in, there’s plenty to like about the ST Track Pack, and I suspect it would be very effective on a circuit. But at just £50 short of £40,000, it looks expensive beside the £35,410Ford Focus ST Track Pack specs
