Sarasota Café Racer Wyatt Fletcher has an on-camera role, along with stars Tanner Foust and Greg Tracy, in the making of the new Focus ST commercial.
Powered by the 2.0-Liter EcoBoost Four, Ford’s hot new Hatchback delivers blistering performance and 23 mpg in city driving! Ford EcoBoost, which uses turbocharging and direct gasoline injection to boost engine output, reduces emissions and improves fuel efficiency by as much as 20 percent. It made its debut in 2009 in the Ford Taurus SHO. Since its then, the EcoBoost engines have beaten Ford sales expectations, brought younger, more affluent customers to the brand and returned some of the highest customer satisfaction numbers the company has ever received.
Compared with the previous-generation Ford Focus, which last made 140 horsepower and 136 pound-feet of torque, the new Focus ST gives up only 3 mpg on the highway but gains 112 horsepower and 134 pound-feet of torque. The 2013 Focus ST delivers 252 horsepower and a whopping 270 pound-feet of torque!
“Ford has been aggressively marketing the 2013 Focus ST with the Ford Octane Academy TV show, sponsoring Ken Block's Gymkhana 5 production, and creating the Focus ST Performance Academy,” said Fletcher, above, with his '70 Mustang.
The new 2013 Ford Focus ST commercial was shot in Key West, FL, above, and Wyatt Fletcher was one of eight enthusiasts chosen to participate.
