- More great driving roads! 👉 ford.to/Greate...
Heading across mountains in the north of Portugal and cutting into the Parque Natural do Alvão, the winding N304 may just be Europe’s greatest driving road. It’s wide, has a perfect road surface, offers rhythmic bends and incredible views. Best of all, other drivers rarely use it.

What a great coincidence! Just 2-3 days ago we were driving on the N304 between Mondim de Basto and Aveção do Cabo and my partner told me: "We have to suggest this to our guests!" (We have a small hospitality service in the centre of Vila Real.) And now Ford confirms our feeling!
As a local, I would suggest a few more roads: N222 between Peso da Régua and Pinhão, always a stone throw away from the Douro river, in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage wine region; the M598 between Sabroso (Vila Real) and the old Tanha train station, along the Corgo, a tributary of the Douro; and the N313 between Santa Eulália (Ribeira de Pena), Alvadia (R. Pena) and Bobal (Mondim de Basto), in the Alvão mountains. The first suggestion is a bit heavier on traffic, but the other two are quieter.
That Air Intake Sound 😍
its fake... and i am sad
I live here, i do that road every single day.
It's a good road to have a blast driving for sure.
Thanks for sharing 🙏

I love my 2016 ST1. It is the perfect daily driver and a blast to drive.

Proud of my beautiful region!! Blessed by a fenomenal nature😊
Is April to early to come drive these epic roads? Worried about snow and bad weather
As a ‘17 ST owner, I’m very sad the new ST doesn’t come to the US! This car looks like a real next step up across the board from the C346!
Exactly! They shouldve at least released this gen and end it there!
🇵🇹 is the unknown car guy's paradise.
Welcome to Portugal :)
We have a great roads for our great cars and motorcycles. :)
Thanks for the sharing Ford.
Peace V
Such a fantastic road!
El focus ST es sin lugar a dudas todo un icono de la automoción, y un auténtico sueño para todos los que nos gustan los coches.
Muchas gracias a toda la gente que trabaja para hacer posible que el St sea una realidad.
¡¡¡Felicidades Ford!!! 💪😉
In Madeira we have several like this, only with more traffic 😎
Truth. My wife and I visited Madeira on our first trip to Europe. Driving was not relaxing on many roads. Part of it was we had a lousy rental car. But some of the side roads were downright scary.
@@Lat41 Right, Madeira's roads require careful, prudent and somewhat technical driving, but they reward with landscapes
Cool 😎 cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
This road is an absolute blinder! Came over here today on my BMW R1250R after learning about it from this video and I was not disappointed. A. MAZE. ING.
Welcome to Portugal!
We want Ford FOCUS with all its trims back to the USA and world market.
eu sou de mondim de basto e muitas vezes passei pela N304
Thank you Ford Europe ;) TOP
EXCELENTE VÍDEO,EXCELENTE COCHE,EXCELENTE PAISAJE,SALUDOS DESDE VALENCIA,SPAIN.
Thanks Ford!
The best roads are here in Portugal!!! 😍💖
Next time drive at "Serra da Arrabida" near Setubal, amazing & fun to drive road, mixed with a lot of smooth vs difficult curves and a stunning landscape to the Atlantic Ocean ! But only for the Braves ;-) ...
Verdade Fernando !
Focus St, welcome to Portugal ! 🇵🇹
Good Job
TOP great video on one of the best roads #N304
Alguém me consegue indicar como chegar à ponte que surge aos 3:40? Muito obrigado!
A ponte não fica muito longe da estrada e está bem sinalizada!
Beautiful!
Hello ford! I would like to know why did you change the head lights of the new ford focus to the darkest ones that are standard in st-line to all of trim levels such as titanium and trend or business, what is the main reason for that? Is it a question of marketing ? I would like to have a answer to my question!
Thank you for your visit and your distinction.
Y no custom modes? No rev matching in normal mode!?
Ford thought people wont use custom mode that often so they decided to make fixed configurations. And maybe some drivers want to do heel & toe on their own? So its good its deactivated in Slippery & Normal Mode
@@purgex861 it's a simple software fix! How hard is a on off switch in a menu for rev matching Who would heal and toe in normal and eco mode lol!
@@elmin2323 enough people i think.. most cars dont even have "modes" or rev matching they just heal and toe, its just about fun.. its no racecar
@@purgex861 lol hence y you should be able to turn it off! Or on! I30n for me after 3 generations of the focus
@@elmin2323 maybe it will be able to turn off / on on the facelift or even with simple coding
Please sort out the registering of the new Focus STs in the uk. Waiting to pick mine up from the garage but all held up due to WLTP emissions certificates with the DVLA preventing any STs being registered! I want to drive mineeeeee!
When I win Eurojackpot I will buy this beuaty and I will go from Slovakia to drive this road in Portugal. Focus ST is my dream, I love Ford. I had focus combi 2018 1.5 duratorq as a company´s car and it was a best car for me, I realy loved him and I miss him, he was my brother. I loose a job and bye bye focus ... That day will come and I will buy focus as a privat, but now nooo money for living because corona ...
Espectacular
That new focus though man i wish we have the focus in America again must be nice you guys have the car and we don't but i hopenwe get it back soon.
Now you stir I love can you drive you really engaged every vehicle you drive
Unfortunately the Focus ST is super expensive in Portugal....Over 40k... Cool video though!
It is advertisement for road or for this car?
Pas grand place pour s'arrêter admirer le paysage !!!!!!
Thx 4 the content. Thinking of trading in my Mk2 ST for this one 🥰 keep up the good cars and content👍🏼
Thanks for not bringing the new st to America
Currently drive a 2018 RS 😡😕😕
better 18 RS the new one will maybe be only automatic and hybrid
Thanks ford from iraq
Ford focus 2006 stel with me and i lovet
BRING IT BACK TO THE USA
Let's all do our part: call or write Ford US Customer Relationship Center and tell them what their American customers want. If we all contact them, maybe they'll realize it's a profitable business decision to bring the Focus ST 6 spd manual transmission to the US/North American market. Wouldn't hurt to ask for the Fiesta ST and/or the Puma ST 6 speed manual as well!

@@danielleroux6490 I'm pretty sure the Puma will be coming as there was one near where they test all performance vehicles like Raptor and ST models in Dearborn!
I really wish we had got this car stateside. I would of bought it
Welcome to Mondim de Basto!
FORD, please bring this and all the Focus Hatchback models back to the USA. They are much needed here and will sell a lot of cars for sure! Focus beats the Civic, Corolla, Mazda 3, etc.. it will be best in compact class. And the Focus ST will have no car even close to it in its performance hot-hatch class
I have an ST and love it, but current Veloster N and Civic R might have something to say about your last sentence.
So glad I bought my rs before they killed off the focus in the U.S.
I can say the same for my Focus ST
Nice Car :)
Where RS version?
so sad, no ASIA delivery plan
Dear Ford, please build a new Capri.
Why ? won't be like the original
These sounds i didnt hear on my testdrive 🤔
🏁🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹💪👍
👍👍👍
My dream... ❤ about car, and mayby road ;)
Sure would be nice if you brought this car to America.
you've never seen one?
Please launch it in india
57/60 ...noice
PLS put this car in Forza 4

I’m Really Disappointed in Ford for NOT keeping The Focus in US🇺🇸‼️ Not having Cars is just Weird‼️The Have 8 SUVs, 1 Coupe & 4 Trucks!.. What’s The Real Reason Ford Discontinued This & The Fusion?? And don’t say Sales because EVERYBODY bought them!✌🏽
Yes well, roads are amazing, but focus is not car for such GT trips. I prefer my Jaaaag.
😁
...left hand Car , German Plate on IT , then pleased say 280 HP/PS or brexit...
Oh Steve, no drifting! What a shame and what a miss on such road. C’mon Ford allow the man to do what he does best - the ST’s rubber deserve a good spanking!
That sound is fake!!!!
Oh dear not another of these absolutely dreadful promo videos like the Fiesta ST video. Please Ford, stop.
Maybe you should start with yourself? Just don't voluntarily opt to view a video which clearly states what and by whom it is... Jeez, the supply of lunatics is at an all-time high...
@@saddist1Gtown oh dear. This is a video paid for by Ford. Do you think Ford really care about a random road in Portugal. I'll help you, as it's clear you need it, no they don't. It's a Focus ST promo video, driven by a car reviewer that is absolutely excellent when doing independent reviews, watch him and you'll understand, and this is as dreadful as the Fiesta ST promo video. The journalist driving the car, no problem with him, just getting paid to do a job, nothing wrong with that.
Ford on the other hand, no, dreadful content on what is a great car.
@@mad4tar77 Moron look at the channel you watched the video on- It says Ford Europe! Go get an education.. Jeez, you just can't make it up...
@@saddist1Gtown You are actually just too dumb to deal with. Goodbye.
Of course it's promo? It's on a promo channel. Nice car, beautiful road and a sound that gives you goosebumps - actually really good promo indeed
90% about the road. 10% about the car. In case you don't want to waste 7 mins of your life on this blokes driving holiday.
'Europe's Greatest Driving Roads'? Maybe, you idiot?
Considering the title of the video what were you actually expecting idiot?
