2011 Ford Focus rendered speculation
The face lifted Focus range has reinvigorated the popular hatch, headlined by the aggressive performance flagship RS model, although this merely preempts the arrival of the all-new Focus due in 2011.
The new model will take Ford’s kinetic design to its limits, offering a truly global package with international style, highly-efficient powertrains and innovative green technologies.
These artists’ renderings provide a glimpse at what we may be able to expect from Ford, combining the current kinetic motif with the “Bold American” theme currently employed by the Fusion and Edge crossover SUV.
Under the “One Ford” product strategy devised by CEO Alan Mullaly, the next-generation Focus is being designed and engineered by Ford of Europe which has been assigned the role as the brand’s centre for global small-car development.
This strategy has been formulated with the aim of reducing initial costs and improving manufacturing economies of scale by employing a single design for all markets rather than introducing separate designs for specific regions.
The car will likely debut Ford’s new C3 architecture which has been built as a versatile platform to suit a wider range of vehicle types including compact-crossovers and people movers, along with eventually forming the underpinnings of sister models such as the Mazda3 and Volvo range.
The new Focus will be the make-or-break car for Ford as the economic slump will no doubt eventually take its toll on what has so far proved to be the most resilient US car maker.

Ford to develop use of its gas-saving technology
When a vehicle stops, then vehicle automatically shuts off the engine that helps us to saving gas.
Ford Motor Co. said Monday that it plans to comprise its fuel-saving Auto Start-Stop technology — originally designed for and used in its gas-electric hybrids — in a wider range of vehicles sold in North America starting in 2012.
The technology automatically shuts off the engine when a vehicle stops, which Ford says improves fuel economy as a minimum 4 percent. A light on the dashboard prove that the engine is off, however all accessories like heat and air conditioning remain on, and drivers don't have to alter their behavior for the technology to work.
Ford says the system; by now used in the Fusion Hybrid and Escape Hybrid in the U.S. and in some Ford cars sold in Europe, and doesn’t need additional maintenance.
The company strategy to install it in cars, crossovers and sports utility vehicles sold in North America starting in 2012. Ultimately, Ford will install the technology in vehicles sold worldwide.
Ford said that in 2011 it will be the only auto maker in North America present four vehicles that get 40 miles per gallon or more and those vehicles are the Ford Fiesta, Ford Focus, Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid.
Ford's other energy-saving technologies as well as two kinds of energy-efficient engines; electric power steering, as opposed to hydraulic; six-speed transmissions, which select the best gear for the fuel economy; and dual-clutch automatic transmission, which professionally sends the engine's power through the transmission.
