If you think all car companies are virtually going crazy with the features that they are pooling into their new car models, then you haven't yet seen what Ford has done. The all new Fiesta ST from the American car manufacturer is the latest pocket-sized speed demon that's set to give all hatchbacks and mini's a major run for their money. With an all new look and superb engine improvements, the Fiesta is a feisty vehicle that’s set to be introduced soon to the American and European market (most probably in the second or third quarter of the year).
So just what's so special about it? A recent unveiling of pictures of the Fiesta ST first gives the impression of a vehicle that has more personality than its predecessors and competitors in the market. It has a sleek new look and looks like this hot hatchback will also do well in terms of speed and performance compared with its current rivals. A huge lower grille and massive alloy wheels gives the new ST a more aggressive look. Of course, it can't do without the blue oval logo right smack in the middle of the grille which just adds that touch of class. The rear window also has been touched up with a spoiler above it and the front bumper sports fog lamps and an obvious design for better air intake. Twin exhaust pipes sport the rear bumper and the lowered suspension gives the car a stance like it’s about to speed off 0 to 60 in a few seconds.
Speaking of speed, the Fiesta ST can do 0 to 60 in about seven seconds and this is not surprising. Standard models will be fitted with a 2.0 liter engine that can produce 275 horsepower. Of course, the ST will most likely be available in smaller engine models as well so you can expect a 1.6 liter that will perform just as well. The best thing about this mini car is that upgrade packages will be available to boost its performance, with parts being sold almost similar to that of the Focus. A diesel engine is in the works and while that's being manufactured, you will be glad to know that the new Fiesta ST's will feature stop-start technology to help you save even more gas on the city streets.
For a little over $30,000, fans will be able to own an ST hopefully in the summer for the United States and a little later around Europe. This is perhaps one of the first few times that one look at the Fiesta and you will forget that it was a Ford. Still, the manufacturer holds its own, known to have developed some of the best in handling vehicles in the last five years.
