Spotted close to Ford’s global headquarters in Dearborn, near Detroit, the prototype you can see in these nice Spy Shots is an Euro model. Take a good look or bookmark (tweet, subscribe, facebook it, whatever you like the buttons are right here on the right somewhere) cause this is probably all we’ll see of the Ford Fiesta 2011 ST until the 2011 Geneva Motor Show!
The 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine premiered in the new C-Max will fit in the Fiesta engine bay, which is going to be turbocharged to some 180-200 bhp, which is confirmed by the spy shots as you can see the intercooler in the pics. While no performance figures are available yet, the ST is likely to deliver the 0-62mph sprint in less than seven seconds and a top speed of more than 140mph.
Ford will most likely make the ST available with the excellent six-speed Powershift dual-clutch transmission, that’s controlled via wheel-mounted paddles. Twin exhaust pipes, a rear diffuser and a sports bodykit will improve the new Fiesta RS to the standards buyers expect from a performable model.
