About the Ford Fiesta ST Mk7
The Mk7 Ford Fiesta ST is widely regarded as one of the finest-handling front-wheel-drive cars of its era. Developed by Ford's Team RS, it features a 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine with a transient overboost function that briefly increases output to 197 hp and 290 Nm. The ST-2 trim was the most popular choice in the UK, adding half-leather Recaro seats, Sony DAB radio, and keyless start to the base specification. Its success lies in a perfectly judged chassis, featuring a quicker steering rack and a bespoke rear torsion beam that encourages lift-off oversteer. As one of the last great analogue-feeling hot hatches, it remains a benchmark for driver engagement and affordable performance.
