The 160-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder direct-injection engine that drives most of the preparation is paired with either a five-speed manual gearbox or six-speed PowerShift dual-clutch automatic. But what is new for 2013 is a high-performance Focus ST variant, which reach 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 155 miles per hour.
