Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost: 7.2.12, Barcelona Focus is first to benefit from Ford's amazing new three-pot turbo engine

摘要

GET READY FOR a major surprise. The new, three-cylinder, 1.0-litre turbocharged version of Ford's good but mainstream Focus looks like becoming the best version of the car money can buy, when it hits the market in a couple of months' time. Daft as it may sound, the tiny but super-advanced turbo triple - engineered in the UK and available in a choice of 99bhp or 123bhp outputs - confers a remarkable new layer of smoothness and refinement on the Ford's big-selling hatchback that is so obvious, so impressive and so refreshing that it leaves the four-cylinder models gasping.
