Ford Fiesta ST: in 2012 with 180 hp

The Seat Ibiza Cupra has the Renault Clio RS: Can Ford to miss a sports version of the Fiesta? It seems not: a variant of ST during the test phase would be to compete head to head with the Franco-German competition. Under the hood, according to the latest rumors, it could beat a 4-cylinder engine 1.6 turbo EcoBoost capable of at least 180 hp.

Performance? It is estimated a 0-100 km / h covered in about 7 seconds and a top speed around 230 km / h. The same unit propulsive, heavily processed, is powered by WRC-wheel-drive version of Ford's small house. The transmission of the road will carry you through instead of front-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual transmission.

The car should be launched in late 2012, to coincide with the redesign of mid-career pattern, and with a competitive price than the competition.
