Ford Racing, Ken Block & fifteen52 join forces on Project ST.
Debuting at the Chicago Auto Show tomorrow, a trio of hardcore high-performance Ford Focus hatchbacks is sure to capture the hearts of enthusiasts. One of the three different Focus ST builds; the TrackSTer kicks off the Project ST program. This program showcases a relationship between tuner fifteen52, Ken Block and Ford.
“The project goal is to make today’s hot hatch King – Ford Focus ST – even hotter,” says Brad Beardow, fifteen52 co-owner. “TrackSTer is a Focus ST that is destined to at home on a road course as well as on the way to a road course. Using only top-quality engine, transmission and suspension components, TrackSTer is designed to appeal to the hardcore performance enthusiast.”
“Teaming up with fifteen52 for this project was an obvious choice for me,” said Ken Block. “They’ve got a great understanding of what’s hot in the small car performance marketplace, both from style and performance perspectives. With the TrackSTer, we’ve worked closely with both Ford Racing and Mountune (engine build) to put together a potent package that blends both on-road and on-track performance. I can’t wait to get this car out on a track and put it through its paces.”
