JoeZS19 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just saw a video on Ford uk's Facebook page about the new fiesta st. It says 24th feb at the end of the video so I'm guessing that will be the announcement date? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Was not expecting that so soon, another 6 months at least.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfriel2 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yes, 24th is the announcement date. I've been told that STs won't be available until early 2018 though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought it would be late 2017 if they are releasing details on the 24th and it will be at the Geneva Motor show in March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B0D0 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I think they will keep the 1.6 and give it 200 hp maybe a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard rumours that it's a completely new engine, following the theme of the 1.0 ecoboost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they say, there's no replacement for displacement. :) They should stop with the stupid fewer cylinders//less cc's better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Possible scenarios I've thought of: 1, Same engine and output as the ST200. 2, 1.0 ecoboost, with hybrid turbo or electric motor to supplement it. 3, 1.1 3 cylinder with turbo. 4, 1.5 ecoboost. I actually think the last option is the least likely for the simple fact that it has an integrated water cooled intercooler so makes tuning and upgrades near impossible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryPL Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I've also heard it's going to be a 1.0 three-pot. At least it'll sound nice! Not sure how long it'll last though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0D0 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 They should put the focus st engine ;) That will be a crazy hot mini rocket pocket. With 5 doors of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be too heavy. Feels heavy in the focus, be awful in a fiesta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read somewhere tonight it's likely to be a three-pot, let's hope it will be realible with all that power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfriel2 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I also think it will be three cylinders, but very much doubt it will be a 1.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have to say, it still sounded like a 4 cylinder in the teaser. Didn't have that 3 pot growl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
666Damian666 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I wonder if the Grey colour they use at the end of the video will be the ST only colour they always do (maybe I'm over analysing that lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Looking at the video, I think it's just wearing the ST-Line body/bumper at the moment, probably why it has camo on it, to indicate it's not the final design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A drop in fuel economy, as measured by CO2 readings... It also mentioned a 1.5 three cylinder? Is there such a thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

666Damian666 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 In terms of an upgrade in quality etc, that much is pretty much assured but I have a feeling it's not going to be unique enough like the current ST with its rear diffuser and front bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
