Overview

• Photos from Ford’s Saarlouis plant show a red Focus ST wagon completed on September 26, identified as the final example.
• Focus production in Germany is scheduled to cease in November after 32 years, with a temporary skeleton crew of about 1,000 workers remaining.
• The Focus stands as Ford’s last passenger model in Europe that isn’t an SUV, highlighting the brand’s portfolio pivot.
• The fourth-generation Focus ST delivered 276 hp with an electronic limited-slip differential and turbo anti-lag, paired with a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic.
• Production of the Fiesta ST ended in July 2023, leaving Ford without a high-performance hatchback as ST badging continues only on SUVs, and reports of EV revivals remain unconfirmed.
