Video: Ford Fiesta ST
Ford has released a video featuring Fiesta ST, a car with a racing soul presented at the last Geneva Motor Show and available in Europe from late 2013. Under the hood the new Ford B-segment boasts a 1.6-litre petrol EcoBoost turbo engine coupled with a six-speed manual gearbox, with output of 180 hp and 240 Nm of torque. Thanks to such a setup the ST covers the 0-100 km/h, standing start, in less than 7 seconds and reaches a top speed of over 220 km/h. Fuel consumption is reduced by 20% compared to the previous version.
A dedicated team of engineers have developed a specially tuned chassis, enhanced Torque Vectoring Control system and three Electronic Stability Control settings; and has been extensively tested on the Nurburgring circuit for a total of 5,000 Km. The setup sits 15 mm closer to the ground than the standard model. Unlike the concept, the Fiesta ST will be offered only with three-doors.
As for the aesthetics a few changes have been made: a larger roof-mounted spoiler, side skirts, an innovative rear diffuser and twin exhaust pipes. Recaro sports seats, MyKey and SYNC connectivity systems will be offered as standard. The new Ford Fiesta ST will be also imported in the United States.
Ford to take 5-door Fiesta ST Concept at the LA Auto Show
Following the unveiling of a 3-door Fiesta ST Concept at the recent Frankfurt Motor Show, Ford will showcase a 5 door variation of the same concept car at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show (November 18-27). The new body type is actually the only difference between the two cars as everything else under the fairings will be exactly the same.
The front end is clearly reminiscent of Ford Focus ST, while the engine will be a supercharged 1.6 4-cylinder EcoBoost unit (producing 180 hp and 240 Nm of maximum torque) coupled with a 6 speed manual transmission. The model seems more and more closer to the definitive version of the new Fiesta, which will be officially introduced at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.
