Hehe.
Not sure about the specs and the performance, but it does have the Brazilian model's side mirrors.

150bhp eh? nice interior too. will be a good drivers car i think - although i'm not as keen on the looks, and the stripes!

Does it come with a 1040cc engine with the option of a second external boot?

I think that looks pretty cool.. stripes over the top maybe, but I like it nonetheless

Whats with these stripes? are they the 'go-faster' stripes of the 21st Century? I know they originated from the Dodge Viper but hell, if you have that much money to spend/or was driving that car, it doesn't matter how you decide to decorate it...but on a Fiesta? Clio?

Think the stripes must be ones they had left over from the new GT40.

well according to the review they appeared to have been applied in a very half arsed and hurried manner to the test car, so maybe its just a big joke
and they're the go faster stripes of the 60s arent they? as seen on camaro z/29's, dodge chargers and the like...
(and ACs, and minis..)

Its... a Ford. I'll stay with my GTi ta. Although I'd have a good deal of trouble staying with a Fiesta ST - 150bhp
Anyway. The colours available IIRC are red/blue/white/black and I think maybe eye-searing yellow? The stripes are optional (thank God) and they are £100 for the ones that run down the side of the car, £200 for the bonnet/roof/tailgate ones and £300 for all of them. I think thats right - the copy of Auto Express I had with all the details is at home so I'm working on memory
Its about 1 second faster to 62mph than my GTi. Or at least thats what they claim, might be faster after its got 20,000 miles under it's belt. Its really the in-gear times that count, and whilst I haven't got those to hand, it should be rapid

Hmmm....
There's your external boot
Another angle.
There's no 1043cm³ option. There is, however, a 65bhp, 999cm³ version. No ST (yet).
