Surely not?!?! http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/06/scoop-new-hot-ford-fiesta-st-caught.html lol the front looks... erm, different. Looks like its a North American Fiesta judging by the larger rear bumper, chrome LED front bezels, 'passenger airbag off' buttom on the centre console, and the slightly different headlights. Edit: oh yeah and the SES badge on the rear is a give away too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico. Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 if that is the ST it wont be the body for it, simply just testing the engine rather than seeing what the body looks like... they do this with alot of cars and not just ford, at the end of the day its not hard just to sit any old Shell on top of a chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 It's obvious that some attempt by Ford has been made to hide the real front grille by adding that cover. Leaves just enough gap for airflow to the radiator. But as the badge is hidden, I dont think thats whats going to appear in the future.

MRC89 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Found this on youtube, not sure if it's been posted on here before, but it shows a few different ones that have had their photo's snapped. All I'm gunna say atm, is it seemed in a hurry to get back in the garage at the end, away from the cameras! I don't suppose anyone can translate? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well spotted, however, both white Fiesta's come from/go to the same garage at the start/end of the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithC Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Does anybody actually read the article? It clearly says that the front end is disguised and it will have a bespoke bodykit. It will be the same body as the current Fiesta with the bespoke bodykit fitted. They couldn't afford to tool up for different shell/panels for one car in the range and keep the price reasonable.

I've heard this also. But have heard there will be a new front grill, hence the disguising. Not sure if this is what you meant. I've read several articles myself, which one are you referring to? Still no official confirmation though... But if you were Ford, would you confirm a ~180ps ST when your just about to put the 134ps "Metal" on sale? hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read several articles myself, which one are you referring to? The one that is in the opening post of this thread. Still no official confirmation though... But if you were Ford, would you confirm a ~180ps ST when your just about to put the 134ps "Metal" on sale? hmmm Why not? They are 2 different cars at differing points in the market. One will be considerably dearer than the other and people in the market for the 134ps version may well not be able to afford the ST or be prepared to wait till it comes out. Anyone in the market for a new hot hatch aren't going to buy a Ford anyway, as they don't make one and haven't since the Focus ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
