      Thank you Aron! I really appreciate you sharing the car with me also. It was a great half a day and I really enjoyed the meet up. Many happy miles ahead for sure with your track pack focus ST 👍

    Found out about this on Saturday, ordered one Sunday, picking it up tomorrow l. Can't wait. Great Vid! Only one I've seen talk about 4.5 track pack. Thanks for sharing!
    On the tyres I saw a video from Ford engineering explaining they were made only for the track pack.

    Fai una Mappatura Dreamscience DS ULTIMA (315 bhp). Poi metti un aspirazione diretta MST Performance. Poi metti uno scarico completo Scorpion (cat. 200 celle + GPF Delete). Metti una barra antirollio posteriore maggiorata Hardrace. Usa olio motore Royal Purple 0W40 + ZX1 Extralube. Usa olio del cambio Royal Purple Sinchromax. Cosi otterrai 340/350 bhp senza sforzare il motore

    shame he didnt give it a decent wash and polish for the cameras tho ! whats it like on petrol?? Thirsty Id say. hoping to buy a black agate with track pack similar to this because i love the contrast of the red st logo on the alloys compared to the black!

      @@SamAustin Its an absolute Blast :D The Handling is on point, the brakes are great and the motor sounds great and pulls really well. Only downside is the price and its fuel consumption when daily driven in towns. But even with these two points i cannot think of a better daily driver with a bit of weekend trackday warrior :D in June, July and September the Focus will see some Tourist drives (on Nordschleife) and some Trackdays

      @SamAustin  Год назад

      That is great to hear! I am sure it will be a blast on track also in the summer particularly as it was tested so much at the Nordschleife👍

    Great to see this. When you look at it this is a pretty expensive car, but it’s the most special looking sporty focus available. For me these should all be sub 40k but the car driven will then be costing a fortune in annual road tax. For me the best option is a sub 40k version as I can see these being rarer due to costs!

      Track pack for me. I am set to try another track pack tomorrow all going well which I will share in my next video which would give me a better idea. It is a mountune M365 track pack MK4.5 Focus ST so as good as you can get really 🙂

    Track pack alloys and Brembos I feel would be better with the performance pack adaptive suspension!
    Also adding the track tips the asking price over £40,000 which makes the car over £600 a year to tax 😵‍💫

    • @stanners1966
      @stanners1966 Месяц назад

      ​​@Icygood It is absolutely amazing, I have a permanent smile on my face everytime I'm behind the wheel. The car spends most of its time in track or sport mode & the fuel economy isn't great but if I was worried about that then I wouldnt have bought it. If your thinking about getting one & your not sure, just do it, the only regret you will have is not getting it sooner !

      ​@enriquemunoz3387 Where did I say it was the track pack that caused the smile, its the car in general but with uprated brakes, Pirelli P Zeros & adjustable suspension it certainly makes a difference to the standard ST otherwise their would be no point in the upgrade. By the way, I don't really care if you believe me or not, go & buy 1 & find out for yourself !!!!

      Blame me for that as the owner wanted to find somewhere to wash it as the car got quite dirty on the journey to me. Car looked amazing in stealth black clean or dirty to me. This one I reviewed is cleaner: ruclips.net/video/fai_3hGJzuo/видео.html
