Ford Focus ST Wagon maakt filmdebuut in de
Engelse misdaadserie The Sweeny, dit keer als een officiële
politiepatrouille voertuig.
Eerder had de Focus ST hatchback, overigens ongemakeerd als zijnde een
politiewagen, al eens rol in de beroemde serie, die werd gebruikt door
de detectives Reagan en Carter.
Hier het officiële bericht:
Cop this! Ford Transforms All-New Focus ST into
Police Demonstrator
Following its movie debut in the UK crime thriller The Sweeney, the
all-new Ford Focus ST has taken on its next starring role – this time as
an official police patrol vehicle.
While the five-door hot hatch used by Flying Squad detectives Regan and
Carter was unmarked, this estate version gets the full law enforcement
livery.
The one-off demonstrator has been developed and engineered at Ford
Special Vehicle Preparations (SVP) in Earls Colne, Essex. Equipped as a
compact traffic car, it meets the latest National Policing Improvement
Agency (NPIA) standards for fast response vehicles inside and out. The
light bar on the roof is all-LED, and the dashboard is fitted with a
mobile data terminal (MDT) and screen to illustrate the Focus ST’s
versatility for multi-role police use.
The car appeared at the National Association of Police Fleet Managers’
Conference and Blue Light Fleet Exhibition (NAPFM) in Peterborough.
Terry Adams, Ford’s Direct Sales Manager for Police, Fire & Ambulance,
commented: “With the Ford Focus ST being seen so publicly on cinema
screens nationwide, the timing for this ‘official’ version couldn’t be
better. At the NAPFM show we displayed the car’s crime-fighting talents
to police transport managers and took bookings for demonstrations.”
Also available for the public to buy, the all-new Ford Focus ST comes in
five vibrant colours including Tangerine Scream and Spirit Blue.
The car’s 2.0-litre 250PS EcoBoost engine means it can accelerate from
0-62 mph in just 6.5 seconds and has a top speed of 154 mph. The
hatchback is priced from £21,995 with the estate costing from £23,095.
