<br />
It sounds like the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/focus">Ford Focus</a> lineup is poised to get a little sexier. <em>AutoExpress</em> is reporting that the Blue Oval intends to release a concept coupe version of the newly reworked hatch. Designed to replace the old three-door model elsewhere on the globe, the low-slung ride will take cues from both the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/focus st">Focus ST</a> and ever lust worthy old-school European <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/capri">Capri</a>. The new design is supposedly set to take the stage at the upcoming <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/detroit-auto-show/">Detroit Auto Show</a>, meaning that if it makes its way to production, there's a good chance that American buyers will be able to pick one up. <br />
<br />
Details are scarce at the moment, but one unnamed insider says that the design is both lower and wider than the Focus that we've seen so far. Otherwise, <em>AutoExpress</em> is speculating that the vehicle will use FoMoCo's powerful 2.0-liter Ecoboost four-cylinder engine with 247 horsepower. If that's true, the car should see 0-60 mph runs in the six-second range. Sounds good to us. <br />
<br />
With the 2011 Detroit Auto Show right around the corner, we'll find out soon exactly what Ford has planned for compact fighter. <br />
