Chalk another one up for the list of special editions released recently, this time theFord Fiesta Sport Special Edition takes the cake. The standard Fiesta has seen a massive amount of success in South Africa and Europe, so the sport special edition should fit in perfectly.

What’s special about the Ford Fiesta Sport Special Edition?

First up, it comes with a number of 1.6 litre engine options, including a Duratec Ti-VCT petrol engine, with an output of 134PS at 6 700rpm and 160Nm of torque at 4 250rpm. This engine along with close-ratio gearing and a re-developed exhaust system allow the car to complete 0-100km/h in just 8.7 seconds and top off at 195km/h.

Style-wise, the Ford Fiesta Sport Special Edition comes with a full styling kit. The side skirts have been lowered, the front bumper and rear hatch now come with distinctive spoilers topped off by a silver-coloured front grille surround. There is also aerofoil, fog lamp bezels and twin exhausts. The alloy wheels are ‘Panther Black’ and are 17 inch on the petrol version and 16 inch on the TDCi versions. Inside there are ‘Ebony Black’ heated leather sports seats and a leather steering wheel with glossy black spokes as well as a number of other features.

The Ford Fiesta Sport Special Edition is currently available in Europe; we can only hope it will make it to South Africa at some point.
