At the 2012 Geneva Motor Show back in March, the Ford Fiesta ST has been revealed as a production version for the European market. The hatchback was not yet confirmed for other regions, but now, the North American carmaker has just announced that it will be launched soon in the United States.
The new generation Fiesta has an aggressive body kit with new bumpers, a roof spoiler, a honeycomb grille, side skirts, a rear diffuser and a tailgate-mounted spoiler. Inside, the cabin features standard Recaro sport seats, faux carbon fiber trim, alloy pedals, a sport steering wheel and a SYNC infotainment system.
Motivation is provided by a 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine with 180 hp and 240 Nm of torque. The power is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox, allowing the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 7 seconds and hit a top speed of 220 km/h.
