Ford has introduced a limited edition version of the Fiesta ST model. The new car will be painted in Panther black and will have silver stripes. There will only be 500 units produced (like in the name). Along with the great paint job it will also come with hiding red calipers and black alloys.
Ford 'Fiesta'
Ford has promised consumers that the new 2010 Fiesta will be great on fuel economy and I think that we can all agree that it something that we are looking for in a new car due to the increase in gas prices that seem to make us want to be rid of our trucks as fast as possible. Along with the great fuel economy they have mixed in quality interior, expensive-looking (but affordable) sheet metal, and an incredible driving experience.
Ford is considering on whether or not the new Fiesta – which was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show – will make its way over to India. Michael Boneham is taking the place of Arvind Mathew as the new MD and President for Ford India. “It can be a possibility and we are studying this,” he said.
Ford chose the perfect time to show off the new Fiesta production models. They chose the 2008 Geneva Auto Show as the place to spread the new look that they had created and to get some real input on how it would be received among the people.
It is obvious that Ford derived its design and look for the Fiesta from the Verve concept. Ford showed off the three door Fiesta in the green color and the five foor in the magenta color. We have heard rumors that the American production version will be a four door sedan.
“Fiesta XR4 will be on sale before the end of the second quarter and we are confident this junior hot hatch, with its combination of European styling, German engineering and outstanding driving dynamics, will take the class by storm,” said President of Ford Australia, Tom Gorman. It is powered by a specially modified version of Ford’s 2.0 litre Duratec 16-valve engine, the XR4 delivers 110kW of power and 190Nm of torque.
