I think it's cool. I like the fact that small fun cars are being made again. The old hot hatch era was great and now that this generation of hot hatch's have turbo's, surely there will be plenty of add-on's later for more HP

Fiesta ST 200

In addition to the exclusive exterior colour and 17-inch alloy wheel specification, Fiesta ST200 models also will feature red painted brake callipers and an enhanced interior with unique partial leather Charcoal Recaro front seats and contrasting silver stitching, alongside illuminated scuff plates and seatbelts with silver detailing.

The Fiesta ST200's 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine can deliver an additional 15 PS and 30 Nm of torque for up to 20 seconds using transient overboost. A 4.06 ratio final drive – shortened from 3.82 in the Fiesta ST – further enhances in-gear acceleration for improved drivability and an even more fun to drive experience. Top speed is 230 km/h (143 mph).

Like the Fiesta ST, the ST200 delivers optimised cornering and agility using:

• Enhanced Torque Vectoring Control and 3-mode Electronic Stability Control
• A specially modified front steering knuckle
• An adapted rear twist-beam with increased roll-stiffness
• Unique front and rear spring and damper settings with a 15 mm lower centre of gravity
• Sharper 13.69:1 steering ratio and shortened steering arm
• Enhanced braking system with a larger tandem brake master cylinder and rear disc brakes
