FORD has added the sporty Zetec S badge to its Focus line-up for the first time in the UK.
The new addition is based on the existing Zetec model but with the addition of a full sports styling kit, of front and rear spoilers with lower sill extensions, 17in alloy wheels, aluminium-style foot pedals and hand brake cover, and an exclusive “S” badge on the front bumper.
The Ford Focus Zetec S is available in three-door and five-door versions and is offered with the same choice of engines as the existing Focus Zetec with the addition of a 1.6 Ti-VCT 115bhp petrol unit.
Other available engines are the 1.8 125bhp and 2.0 145bhp petrol units and the diesel 1.8 TDCi 115bhp, 2.0 TDCi 136bhp and 2.0 TDCi 136bhp with diesel particulate filter (DPF) which can also be specified with Ford’s six-speed PowerShift automatic transmission.
The Ford Focus Zetec S is priced £750 above the equivalent Zetec derivative while, if ordered separately, the additional features are worth over £1,600.
Two optional styling packs are also available.
The Sport pack (£500) includes 18in alloy wheels and privacy glass, and the WRC pack (£200) includes World Rally Championship “chequered flag” decals and WRC scuff plates.
