Ford has developed its most engaging, powerful and dynamic Fiesta ST ever, the car manufacturer has revealed.
The latest edition is a powerful small production car that delivers everything a driver could want.
Thanks to a precision tuned and driver-focused powertrain and chassis, this Fiesta makes the driving experience of this six-speed manual transmission vehicle unbeatable.
Motorists can really feel the power of the 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine courtesy of 240Ns of torque. This allows it to go from 0-62mph in 6.9 seconds. The top speed maxes out at 137mph.
"The new Fiesta ST delivers remarkable levels of performance, design and quality to offer an unsurpassed driving experience," said Juergen Gagstatter, chief programme engineer of Fiesta ST.
"Ford’s European customers are connoisseurs of the hot hatchback and the new Fiesta ST speaks directly to that passion for performance driving.”
The design is also something extraordinary. It comes with a sizeable trapezoidal grille that has a distinct honeycomb construction, a punchy headlight design and a thunderous rear diffuser element.
Tyrone Johnson, Ford Team RS engineering manager, commented: "This car can put a smile on your face corner-after-corner and delivers absolute precision in power delivery and handling."
