LONDON: Ford has unveiled a new, special edition version of the acclaimed Fiesta ST, limited to 300 built to order for UK customers among 500 units for Europe.
Featuring adjustable suspension for ultimate road and track performance, alongside exclusive styling details, the Fiesta ST Edition is priced at £27,075 (RM145,699.25).
It continues to offer Fiesta ST’s Normal, Sport and Track Selectable Drive Modes, with Sport mode now able to be activated directly from a dedicated button on the steering wheel.
Launch Control is also available, and a switchable three-mode electronic stability control system is standard.
Ford’s 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine uses turbocharging, high-pressure fuel injection, and Twin-independent Variable Cam Timing to deliver 200PS at 6,000rpm, and 290Nm of torque from 1,600rpm to 4,000rpm, for 0-100kph acceleration in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 230kph.
The Fiesta ST has the unique Azura Blue exterior finish and High Gloss Black detailing for elements including the rear diffuser, roof spoiler and – for the first time – the ST badges.
The exclusive 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.
This ST Edition enhances the multi-awarding-winning hot hatch with a Ford Performance adjustable coilover suspension system that enables customisation of cornering, road-holding and ride-height characteristics for true performance driving enthusiasts.
Responsiveness and dynamics are further enhanced with standard flow-formed alloy wheels that reduce unsprung weight, contributing to the most rewarding, agile and confident Fiesta driving experience yet.
“Our new Fiesta ST Edition squeezes even more excitement out of the best-handling compact hot-hatch on the road,” said Ford Performance manager for Europe Stefan Muenzinger.
“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.”
