“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.”
