The now-discontinued Ford Focus ST has garnered a bit a cult following on the aftermarket scene since the last one rolled off the assembly line, and eagle-eyed buyers might be lucky enough to find one for sale every now and then. A 2016 Focus ST with modifications recently sold, as did a 2018 Focus ST that was hardly broken in at 8,000 miles. Another example is currently for sale, and this one is more than just a modified hot hatch, as it currently belongs to actor Nicky Katt.
Katt, famous for his work in CHiPs, Herbie The Love Bug, and Father Murphy, purchased this 2018 Ford Focus ST new and has put 42,000 miles on it since then. Currently for sale on Bring a Trailer, boasts an array of aftermarket modifications, such as a Focus RS-spec air intake, a Mountune intercooler, a Ford Performance engine control unit (ECU) tune, and a Borla cat-back exhaust system.
This 2018 Focus ST is finished in Shadow Black paint, and sports carbon fiber exterior elements made by Anderson Composites, including the hood, tailgate, rear spoiler, and ventilated front fenders. Each element is protected by clear paint protection film to keep it looking nice and protect it from wear and tear.
The hood is fastened with black leather straps and an aftermarket “Superlegga” badge, while the liftgate features “Sierra Cosworth RS” badging. It also boasts a rearview camera, power sunroof, HID headlights, yellow-tinted fog lamps, and a Hurst hatch emblem. Its factory 18-inch wheels, meanwhile, are powder coated in green.
Inside, the Recaro seats have been finished in perforated green leather, while the rear seats have been removed. It features a floor-mounted fire extinguisher, a Hurst shift knob, and a Sony audio system running Sync 3 with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Under the hood, this 2018 Ford Focus ST harnesses the turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost I4, which delivers power through the front wheels by way of a six-speed manual transmission.
Largely because most small truck owners don't engage in that activity.
It says that 'everything will change' on that day.
A handful of potential future model names.
Exclusive to - you guessed it - the Lariat trim.
Perhaps a bit more affordable than the real thing.

Fun little cars! Still love my 2016 in Tangerine Scream with matching Recaro seat color inserts.
“RS” not an “ST”.
It's an ST with some RS cosmetics, not an RS. Easiest way to tell with certainty (outside of using the ST rear and exhaust which no one would voluntarily put on an RS and the engine being a 2.0 L) is the VIN starts with a "1". RSs were all built in Germany and have "W" VINs.
Also has the ST front and no bright blue Brembos. Lots of evidence of it being an ST all around lol.
No... MAJP, IF you had read the article rather than looking at the pretty pictures, you would have noticed the tool of an owner rebadged his ST with RS. There are no RSs with 2.0s. Guess he couldn't afford an RS. LMFAO.
Never heard of the actor.
