2008 Ford Focus ST Image - Is It Real?

We discovered this image of the 2008 Ford Focus ST floating around the net this morning and while we can’t guarantee that it’s authentic, it sure looks like it is. While the facelifted European Ford Focus was presented in September at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show (click here for details & images) Ford hadn’t released any details or pictures of the sporty 2008 Focus ST. The current version is equipped with Volvo’s 2.5-litre turbocharged, 5-cylinder unit delivering 220 Hp. So, what do think; is the picture real or is it the work of an excellent photoshop artist?
