Ford Fiesta ST (B299MCA)
Fiesta ST (2013–)
In 2011, Ford revealed the Fiesta ST concept based on the Fiesta MK6. The final production model was announced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2012, and is largely unchanged from the concept model except for the lack of LED headlights.
The Fiesta ST is powered by a 1.6-litre Ford EcoBoost engine to deliver performance while still providing good fuel efficiency. The 1.6-litre Ford EcoBoost Turbocharged engine features Twin-independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) and put out 182 PS (134 kW; 180 hp) with 177 lb·ft (240 N·m) of torque providing an acceleration time of under 7 seconds (0–100 km/h) and a top speed of 136 mph. This engine features "overboost," allowing delivery of up to 197bhp for a maximum of 15 seconds. In the USA, Ford is permitted to market the engine offering its overboost power figure; by contrast, in other countries such as the UK, a manufacturer is not permitted to market an engine's temporary output. The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission which features Ford’s Torque Vectoring Control system to brake the inside front wheel to aid agility, and has three ESP modes. The car is expected to provide high fuel economy while not sacrificing performance, with Ford claiming higher fuel economy than the Volkswagen Golf GTI. The ST features a redesigned front fascia similar to the one seen on the Focus ST, a large rear spoiler, aggressive rear diffuser with a dual exhaust system, completed with 17-inch wheels on Bridgestone Potenza tires. On the inside, the ST provides heavily bolstered Recaro front seats (optional in North America) and sportier décor; North American versions are offered with the MyFord Touch infotainment system.
The Fiesta ST production model went on sale in both Europe and North America in 2013. In the North American market, the Fiesta ST became available in spring 2013 for the 2014 model year, unveiled at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show as part of a larger mid-cycle refresh for the Fiesta. The North American Fiesta ST is offered as a five-door hatchback variant instead of the three-door hatchback offered in Europe.
The North American model is sold in hatchback body, and includes a 1.6-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, six-speed manual transmission, overall steering ratio of 13.6:1, increased roll stiffness at rear axle, 15 millimeters lower body height than base model, electronic Torque Vectoring Control and 3-mode electronic stability control (standard, sport or off).
The Ford Fiesta ST won Top Gear's Car of the Year for 2013.

Given that this is the car I drive every day, I'll add a few more words:
AWESOME - the ST chassis is sensational, the handling sublime, and the grin factor - huge.
Only let downs are very firm seats and noisy highway cruising.
This Ford Racing Blue model is my second Fiesta ST, following on from a Molten Orange model earlier this year. And I will definitely be back again, if I have the opportunity.
This Lego miniland scale Ford Fiesta ST (B299MCA) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 96th Build Challenge - The 8th Birthday, titled - 'Happy Crazy Eight Birthday, LUGNuts' - where all previous build challenges are available to build to. This model is built to the LUGNuts 82nd build challenge, - "LUGNuts in Real Life" featuring vehicles owned of driven by the builder (or relative).
