Default Ford Focus ST on p plates.

My mate was looking at new Focus STs the other day and he was planning on buying one eventually but didn't know if they were p plate allowed due to the turbo charged engine, so we looked on redbook and it said not determined, so just wondering does anyone know if they can be driven on p plates.

High-powered (performance) vehicle restrictions apply to P1 and P2 licence holders under the age of 25 years.

These restrictions also apply to probationary licence holders who return from a disqualification to a P1 or P2 probationary licence,
when at the time of the offence they were under 25 years of age. These restrictions apply for the
duration of the probationary period regardless of age.

High-powered (performance) vehicles include those with:

eight or more cylinders
a turbocharged or supercharged engine that is not diesel powered .......

I'm taking that as a no then, even if he applied for an exemption it's 1kw per tonne over 125, even tho it meets all the other exemption requirements. Thanks for your help.

Considering the purpose the limitation was designed for there is zero chance the ST would be exempt
