The all new Ford Fiesta ST200 has remained on the top as the king of the ST hatches. Even these days, the all new Ford Fiesta remains one of the best hatchbacks on sale in the UK; it is fast, reliable and comfortable performer despite of lacking the firing power from several modern rivals.
However, the ST has never been slow, for those who want some more oomph have been pushed to find several tuners to inject some more power into the engine. Ford Fiesta engines are best units available in the Ford engine line-up. However, now ford have itself tuned up the engines to produce around 197bhp from its standard 1600cc Ford turbocharged engine.
Back in June, the car was tested in the Europe by several experts but few weeks ago the car came across the channel and it is being tested under the UK testing rules. It is being tested on the UK tarmac with right-hand configurations and UK plates. It is produced by the Cologne factory and delivered straight to the UK roads.
In addition to the extra power tweaks, ford fiesta ST gets a new transmission as well along with the changes to steering wheel, dampers, anti-roll bars and reprogrammed and reconfigured ESP systems. This is not the end but there is also a great deal of elegant paint work and some extra kit. In the real life testing, it has a different story to tell but on the papers, it is one-tenth faster than the standard fiesta.
The all-new Ford Fiesta engine is a master piece and it always gives power to keep the Fiesta ahead of its rivals and it never feels out of oomph when works under the new power boost function. This function raises the ST 200 standard power output of 197 horsepower to 212 horsepower. The pulling power of torque is also up by 50Nm. It was previously producing 240Nm but now it is producing 290Nm with the aid of new power boost system.
This torque is particularly handy when boosted over to 320Nm with over boost function and it helps in the overtaking process and makes it very easy. It offers every function of from the standard car, but every function has some extra fizz. It is being offered with new exhaust pipes and steering gives an excellent feel when on the sharp turns on countryside roads. It offers loads of grip on the road and smokes the tarmac very well and allows you to push yourself back into the seats with a push of the accelerator. Ford engineers claim that the new fiesta ST is more comfortable and the changes have actually been made across the line-up with its firmest body style.
The Ford Mountune tuners will inject more power to the Fiesta engines with £599 only and you will enjoy a 212 horsepower forever without any over boost function. It is an MP215 performance pack available across the UK at your Mountune dealerships.
