Ford reveals Fiesta S1600
The limited edition Fiesta S1600 will aim to carry on the proud tradition of fast fords stretching back 30 years.
Ford is celebrating its pocket rocket pedigree with a limited edition, high performance edition of the Fiesta called the S1600.
Following in the footsteps of mighty fast fiestas of the past, like the XR2i and the RS.
The S1600 certainly looks the part, with plenty of exterior changes over the Zetec S on which it’s based, including a full body kit with a new front bumper, chunky side skirts and downforce supplied via a rear diffuser and large rear spoiler.
No fast ford would be complete without the now obligatory contrasting blue and white racing stripes, and this model will also get a 17-inch white alloys, so it will certainly stand out from the crowd.
The S1600 is based on the Zetec-S, and carries over the same 1.6-litre, 118bhp Duratec petrol engine, or the 95bhp Duratorq TDCi diesel option. Customers after a power hike, can take advantage of a 20bhp engine upgrade package being offered by Mountune, the same firm that can transform the Focus RS into a power crazed RS500.
To hot up the interior, Ford has added heated, leather sports seats, a leather trimmed steering wheel and gear knob. Plus Motorsport-branded floor mats and scuff plates.
Only 650 of these special feisty Fiestas are being created, and they are available to order now priced from £16,645 OTR.
