FORD has unveiled a new special edition version of its sporty Fiesta ST, limited to 300 built to order for UK customers – and it looks a stunner too.
Featuring adjustable suspension for ultimate road and track performance, alongside exclusive styling details, the Fiesta ST Edition is priced at £27,075.
The model is easily identified by a unique Azura Blue exterior finish and high gloss black detailing for the rear diffuser, roof spoiler and – for the first time – the ST badges.
And the interior features carbon fibre-effect detailing, bespoke blue stitching and introduces a new Ford Performance steering wheel providing direct access to Sport Drive Mode with a dedicated button.
The hot hatch, available only as a three-door, also gets a Ford Performance adjustable coil-over suspension system that enables customisation of cornering, road-holding and ride height characteristics for enthusiasts.
Sporty touches include a flat-bottomed steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake finished in leather with blue stitching, ST-branded floor mats, seatbelts and Recaro heated sports seats.
Power comes via a 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine which uses turbocharging, high pressure fuel injection and variable cam timing to deliver 200PS for a 0-62 acceleration time of 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 143mph.
Cylinder deactivation technology also helps drivers save fuel, with a potential average return of 42.8 miles per gallon and CO2 emissions of 135g/km.
Stefan Muenzinger, Ford Performance manager for Europe, said: “Our new Fiesta ST Edition squeezes even more excitement out of the best-handling compact hot hatch on the road.
“The Edition model puts drivers firmly in control with the ability to manually adjust the feel of their car and fine-tune the handling to suit their personal preference.”
