Focus is best-selling car in the world

The Ford Focus is the world's most popular car with more than 500,000 units sold worldwide over the first seven months of this year.

Ford has sold more than 10 million Focus models in total - 5.6 million of those in Europe. A new Focus at the end of August was the 350 millionth Ford vehicle to roll off the production line (pictured). It was built in Thailand.

If placed end to end, the cars would stretch to the moon and back - twice.

With sales of 3,390 to date in 2012, the Ford Focus is also Ireland's top selling car this year.
