  • Ford Fiesta ST Concept

    Ford has introduced the staggering Fiesta ST at the 2011 IAA Frankfurt Motor Show. The vehicle shows the strategy of the manufacturer, how a future Fiesta ST performance model might look when it joins the Focus ST in the global Ford small car portfolio.

    The small hot hatchback combines eye-catching, muscular and sporty styling with a dynamic sports chassis and a high-performance powertrain capable of delivering impressive fuel economy with low CO2 emissions.

    Ford Fiesta ST Concept is powered by a 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine with 180PS and 240Nm of torque. 0 to 100km/h in less than 7 seconds and a top speed of more than 220km/h.

    Yet the advanced design of the turbocharged, 4-cylinder engine – connected to a 6-speed manual transmission – means the Fiesta ST Concept is also able to deliver target CO2 emissions of lower than 140g/km.

    “The Fiesta has a rich history of high-performance models so a new ST performance model is a logical next step in our performance vehicle strategy for our global small cars,” said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development.

    “The Fiesta ST Concept continues that tradition by showing how a global performance version of our best-selling B-car can be both technically advanced and dramatically styled.”, he added.

    “With a racing silhouette inspired by the global Fiesta race and rally cars currently competing on the world stage, and influenced by the unique appearance of the all-new Focus ST, the new Fiesta ST Concept is an exciting demonstration of the road-going Fiesta’s future potential.”, Mr. Kuzak finished.

  • Superchips Ford Fiesta Zetec S

    Superchips now offer a high performance ECU remap for the 1.6-litre Ford Fiesta Zetec S. The petrol engine received 10BHP at 5986RPM and 13Nm at 4390RPM.

    The Superchips conversion makes the Fiesta Zetec S feel more exciting, sportier and more responsive right through the rev range, making everyday driving more pleasurable.

    No technical skills are required as Superchips’ customers plug the Bluefin handset into the Fiesta’s OBDII diagnostic port and then follow the simple on-screen instructions, a process which takes a matter of minutes.

    As part of this process, the original factory Fiesta Zetec S ECU map settings are stored within the Bluefin handset for future use, which means converting the car back to standard is a swift and simple ‘plug and go’ DIY task.

    Alternatively, customers can visit one of approximately 80 UK wide Superchips performance centres, where trained technicians can undertake the remapping procedure.

    The upgrade is suitable for all Mk7 1.6-litre 120 PS Fiesta Zetec S models produced from 1st October 2008 onwards.

    The Superchips performance upgrade is priced at just £249.00 including VAT @ 20%, which is a great value for money.
