Ford Fiesta ST200

Rumors that the American automaker was working on a Fiesta RS variant were debunked by Ford itself.  But at least now the ST200 model has been confirmed. There is a modest increase in performance to 197 horsepower from the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine while torque has gone up 20 percent to 214 pound-feet. That means with the car’s over boost function, the Ford Fiesta ST200 is capable of having 212 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque for short 15-second bursts.

According to Ford, zero-to-62 mph comes in 6.7 seconds, marking a 0.2-second improvement over the standard Fiesta ST. It will have a top speed of 143 mph.  To help distinguish itself from a standard Fiesta ST, the ST200 model will come in a unique Storm Grey finish with matte black 17-inch wheels and red brake calipers. Inside there are part-leather Recaro sport seats, illuminated doorsills and seatbelts with silver detailing.

After revealing the new Fiesta ST200, it now looks like the company is preparing a hotter version of the Focus ST.  Aerodynamics look improved on the car thanks to a new front spoiler and some added canards used on the front bumper. Some changes to the suspension are also a given, trying to refine the car further and help it to handle corners. Some new graphics and wheels would round out the package.

The car will likely end up making around 270 or 280 hp, which may lead Ford to name it the Focus ST270 or ST280.  Production of the Ford Fiesta ST200 will commence this June ahead of deliveries starting in the summer.
