Nightowl Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 So says Autocar. Just as well, cos that's when I am changing my current Titanium - as I do - every 3 years! Whether or not it'll be another Fiesta/Ford remains to be seen. I might juuuuust be tempted: http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/256287/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger365 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Well done Ford, late to the party again! This car should be available now, not in 18 months time......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCJ Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Good find, but i think i'll still upgrade to the focus ST that year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark M.K Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Just in time for when the Fiesta is due for a facelift, so might not be such a bad move.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikester Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Ahh Vicky parrot, I worked with her numerous times. That's legit as Autocar don't publish crappy photoshops like autoexpress do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Cheung Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 THAT long?! Was hoping it'd be later this year The zetec s is in dire need of a turbo! Still, vicky parrot in a fiesta st would be a nice package... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRC89 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 http://drivingspirit.com/2012-ford-fiesta-st-engine-details/ Not sure how recent or accurate this article is, but it's pretty interesting, It states the power:weight ratio will nearly match a clio sport 200?

Tato Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 What will be the price of the Focus ST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyR Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 hmmm, not interested anymore. Not at that time. Now I know that I just need some decent matching tyres again to get my awesome handling back, I'm happy. Plus petrol will most likely be at £1.65 by then.... wouldn't surprise me if it was.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium_s_spec Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Ford will finally give us an official hot version of the Fiesta, due to arrive next year. The Fiesta ST will sit above the current fastest Fiesta, the rather lukewarm Zetec S. This contradicts Ford's original line at the launch of the current car that there wouldn't be an official hot version. It is thought that this change of heart has been brought about due to the introduction Fiesta in the WRC this year in order to comply with the new S2000 rules that have come into force this season. The Fiesta ST will get a 180bhp version of the 1.6-litre Ecoboost engine, which is broadly (and we mean very broadly) similar to the one found in this year's WRC car. The Fiesta ST is set to compete against rivals such as the Renaultsport Clio 200, the Seat Ibiza Cupra and the Volkswagen Polo GTi. Whilst there is no official word on performance, it is a saf(ish) bet that it will be on a par with the Clio, giving away 20bhp but weighing in at almost exactly 200kg lighter than its French counterpart. There has been no official word on price, but expect it to go on sale at around £16,500 pounds, undercutting its Renault rival by £300 against the Cup version and £1300 against a highly specced model. Ford is also dipping its toe into the hot hatch water first with a limited run of 500 'warm' 134 bhp S 1600s. This will be used to test the market for a small hot(ish) Ford.

Thats just a stock photo of a US Fiesta isn't it? - Doesn't say anything about 5 door does it? The 134PS S1600 is a new run with more power - the ones that have been around for a while were only 120PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coysht Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Don't suppose anyone wants a spare center console (the bit around the handbrake with the cupholders in) to have a go at the illuminated cupholders? I have a pretty good condition one taking up space in my kitchen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
