It has been confirmed. Ford is going to launch the Fiesta ST in North America. Already a popular hatchback that was born in Europe in 2005, it packs a big punch with a 1.6-liter EcoBoost®engine producing nearly 200 horsepower.
The new Fiesta ST is Ford’s latest vehicle to wear the Sport Technologies badge, which is a global performance brand that debuted in North America earlier this year with the launch of the Focus ST.
The Fiesta ST comes exclusively equipped with a six-speed manual transmission and is expected to be a segment leader in both performance and fuel efficiency, too!
The Fiesta ST — making its debut at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show — isn’t like the competition. It doesn’t simply look like a performance car; it’s got the guts to back it up.
This awesome car was born with racing DNA, but buyers won’t have to pay for that performance at the pump. It’s available exclusively as a five-door hatchback in North America and with a six-speed manual transmission. The Fiesta ST is projected to achieve up to 34 mpg. That’s impressive stuff!
