While we’re still trying to figure out whether the leaked image of a 2008 Focus ST is real or not (see if you can help us by clicking here), Ford has launched a special edition version of the current generation in the UK , dubbed “ST500”. Available in the UK in a limited run of 500 units, the ST500 is based on the top-of-the-range Focus ST3. All ST500s are finished in metallic black with classic silver bonnet, roof and side echoing the livery of the winning GT40 in the 1-2-3 victory at Le Mans in 1966. -Continued after the jump

Other unique features of the Focus ST500 are the scarlet leather Recaro sports seats and matching upholstery, special ST500 badging, automatic Xenon high-intensity headlamps, auto-dimming rear view mirror, rain-sensing wipers and solar-reflect windscreen.
There are no changes under the bonnet, as the ST500 gets the same turbocharged five-cylinder Duratec 2.5L engine as the standard ST, which develops 225PS at 6,100rpm and 320Nm of torque at 1,600rpm. According to Ford, the ST500 price is set at £20,495 ($42,790 or €29,300)
