The Fiesta ST is the second Ford performance car to be introduced in China after the Focus ST.
Available exclusively as a three-door hatchback in China, the new Ford Fiesta ST will be Ford?s first three-door offering in the country.
The new Ford Fiesta ST, which made its Asian debut at Auto Shanghai in April, was developed by Ford Team RS, the European arm of Ford Motor Co?s Global Performance Vehicle group.?
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: 180hp of power, 240Nm 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.
?The compact body of the new Fiesta ST bursts out great power and fantastic handling capability, which will definitely impress Chinese performance car customers,? said John Lawler, chairman and CEO of Ford China.
?With improved fuel efficiency, the Ford Fiesta ST is a unique blend of dramatic styling and exhilarating on-road performance with true practicality for everyday use.?
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.
The rear axle gets increased roll stiffness to improve stability through fast corners, while the Fiesta ST body sits 15 millimeters closer to the ground.
The Ford Fiesta ST debuts rear-disc brakes on the Fiesta platform and introduces a larger tandem brake master cylinder that boosts braking performance.
All these technologies were put to the test over 5,000km of driving on Germany?s N?rburgring Nordschleife.
Inspired by the global Ford Fiesta race and rally cars currently competing on the world stage, the three-door Fiesta ST looks sportier and more agile, and it looks like it?s made for the racetrack.
The Fiesta ST features a large trapezoidal grille with a unique honeycomb construction and dramatic rear diffuser element.
Bright tipped dual-exhaust pipes and a high-mount spoiler along with unique 17-inch wheels complete the visual package.
The refined high-contrast interior is equipped with Recaro seats and features carbon fiber dashboard inserts, alloy-metal pedals, and an ST steering wheel.
Its in-car smart technologies include the voice-activated in-car connectivity system Ford SYNC with Emergency Assistance, which directly connects vehicle occupants to local emergency services operators after an accident.
It is also available with MyKey, which allows owners to set maximum speed and audio volume limits, and ensures safety features are not disabled, when allowing use of their car.
The new Fiesta ST will also sound good on the open road, as it features the passive version of the sound symposer first used on the Ford Focus ST, to provide an enhanced soundtrack for drivers out tackling the open road.
It is unique for Fiesta in that for the first time, the engine sound is directly fed into the passenger cabin to accentuate feedback quality and response.
