Ford says "No" to Fiesta ST

Ford says "No" to Fiesta ST

With the new Fiesta proving to be a real success in every market around the world, you would have expected to see a hotter version on the streets. But no, Ford decided to delay its launch and if times don’t get better, we will never see a ST version based on the current generation Fiesta.

"Now is not the right time for a Fiesta ST. We may have a better opportunity to make the ST later on in the car’s life, when Ford’s direct-injection petrol engines are ready and the range would benefit more from the extra interest surrounding such a car. But not until 2012 at the earliest.

The factory modified ST version of the Fiesta was supposed to deliver 37 HP more than a regular version and give the small economy car a top speed of 130 mph.
