Another Ford Mondeo? I can’t remember the last time I have driven the same car with three different engines outputs within such a short period of time. First it was the ‘original’ one with the 159bhp 2.3 litre Duratec motor in 2009; then last year it was the facelifted car that first received the 2.0 litre Ecoboost engine (good for 200bhp) and now this – still the same 2.0 Ecoboost lump but poked around to now dish out 238bhp at 6000rpm.

With Shelby American revisiting the late Carroll Shelby's love of hatchbacks, this 300 hp Focus ST proves quite the animal. Yahoo! Autos' Alex Lloyd was the first to sample its bite.
