Ford is planning four big reveals for the Frankfurt Auto Show this September and the Blue oval is being expectantly vague on all of them.

First up is “a new design concept”, which is likely to pave the way for an even more provocative design language for the brand. For those living in the here-and-now, there will also be “details of the next Focus performance car”, a slightly ambiguous quote that likely means Ford will finally show off the full-production version of the Focus ST hot hatch, making 247-hp from a turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine.

As for the other two products, look for the production version of the Vertrek Concept, whit the new softroader replacing the Escape in North America and the Kuga for Europe, while the final debut could be the new Mondeo or even a Fiesta ST concept!
