The new Ford Fiesta ST packs a punch under the hood with a new high-output variant of the advanced 1.6-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, delivering some amazing numbers: 134 kW of power, 240 Nm of torque, 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, and a top speed of more than 220 km/h.
The engine uses technologies including turbocharging, high-pressure direct fuel-injection and Twin-independent Variable Cam Timing, mated to a six-speed manual transmission specially developed for Fiesta ST to deliver powerful driving dynamics with outstanding fuel economy.
Compared to the standard Fiesta, the electric power-assisted steering on the Ford Fiesta ST is more direct and responsive. Ford's enhanced electronic Torque Vectoring Control helps reduce under-steer during hard cornering maneuvers. The three-mode Electronic Stability Program -- standard, sport or off -- enables the ST driver to select the amount of electronic aid based on current conditions.
