Ford UK have taken the liberty to introduce new Fiesta’s in the range. The new models will feature a Sport trim level which is available on the three-door models that feature the 1.4-litre and 1.6-petrol units, as well as the 1.6-litre TDCi turbo diesel motor.

The new changes will consist of a series of chassis upgrades which will improve handling around the European streets, when racing of course.

Changes will influence the suspension which is now lowered by a staggering 9mm. There will also be stiffer springs, new shocks, a modified steering wheel system and a new Electronic Stability Program which can be turned off completely. Can you say, burn out?

The three-door Fiesta Sport will have a new lower grille change, darker headlamps, a new front apron, chunky side skirts, a rear apron and the obvious enhancement of new 16-inch alloy wheels.

Inside there will be new trim colours, as well as front sport seats, a leather steering wheel and gearshift knob, enhanced equipment and an on-board computer along with electric windows, central locking and air-conditioning.
