DEARBORN, Mich., July 12, 2012 - The 2013 Ford Focus ST isn't just quick, it's frugal.

EcoBoost rising

While Focus ST is the first four-cylinder efficiency EcoBoost engine, gas-environment friendly EcoBoost powertrains are actually a mainstay in Ford's lineup. Ford's annual EcoBoost production will develop to almost 1.6 million engines globally by 2013.

Already on sale within the European Focus, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine was named the 2012 Worldwide Engine of the Year last month.
