Ford launches Fiesta ST3
A new chapter in the Ford Fiesta story has begun with the release of the new flagship version of the popular ST.
The ST3 offers similar technical specifications to the outgoing ST-2, but adds a number of new features.
These include keyless entry, Sony DAB radio/CD with navigation system, cruise control and automatic headlights.
It is powered by the same highly efficient 1.6-litre EcoBoost 182PS with six-speed manual transmission. This allows the car to speed from 0 to 62 mph in just 6.9 seconds, while continuing to a top speed of 139 mph.
However, despite these excellent levels of performance, it is still highly efficient. The model offers 47.9 mpg and CO2 emissions of just 138g/km.
Ford is no stranger to exciting and attractive hot hatches. The new Fiesta ST3 certainly continues that well-deserved reputation.
