Actually I’d be happy if they just gave the US FiST those headlights.

yes it would, but I doubt one would happen. The ST was basically a “parts bin” car, and relatively inexpensive to do.

I think if it were to happen it would stay FWD, get a power boost, maybe a suspension upgrade (if it needs one, isn’t the ST already am upgrade) and an appearance package. I doubt they’d AWD it.

I like the Euro-spec lights better. Honestly an RS would really be overkill, maybe of it were the Mountune pack and an LSD, but it’s stiff enough as is. All a significant amount of extra power would do is wear down the front tires more.

Though it looks like there will be no Fiesta RS, they have expanded their ST range with the ST-Line which is an entry into the ST cars themselves but have 1.0EcoBoost engines but dressed up like STs. And a new limited edition ST range topper with the ST200. Being a 1.6T EcoBoost with 200ps (215ps with overboost) and a 6 speed manual. It’s an extra £3,000 on top of the ST3 at £22,745 to the ST3s £19,745.

The Ford Fiesta ST 200 is now officially on sale priced from £22,745, which is £5000 more than the starting price of a regular Fiesta ST.
Fewer than 1000 examples of the hotter ST are expected to be produced, although an exact number is yet to be revealed.
Read our Ford Fiesta ST200 review here
The ST200 hot hatch uses a tuned version of the standard ST’s 1.6-litre turbocharged Ecoboost engine, with power increased from 180bhp to 197bhp and torque raised from 180lb ft to 214lb ft.
These outputs are further increased, to 212bhp and 236lb ft, for up to 15 seconds through an overboost feature. These higher figures give a better guide to the ST200’s performance potential due to the length of the overboost.
Fiesta ST tuning upgrades which produce similar outputs are already offered, such as the factory-approved Mountune packages, but the ST200’s modifications are much more extensive.
The final drive ratio has been shortened in order to improve drivability and in-gear performance. The 0-62mph time in the Fiesta ST200 has been cut from that of the standard ST by 0.2secs to 6.7sec, while top speed increases slightly by 4mph to 143mph. The six-speed manual gearbox remains.
The performance gains have had only a small impact on overall efficiency, with the ST200 producing 140g/km of CO2, 2g/km more than the regular ST, and capable of a claimed 46.3mpg, 1.6mpg less than the ST.
Other modifications include enhanced Torque Vectoring Control and a three-stage electronic stability control system. The front steering knuckle has also been modified, as has the rear torsion beam to increase roll-stiffness. The front and rear damper settings are also new, with the centre of gravity having been lowered by 15mm. The steering arm has been shortened and the steering ratio is quicker, while the brakes have been beefed up at the rear.
Ford has given the ST200 a new look, with a new silver-grey paint finish, called Storm Grey, 17in matt black alloy wheels and new interior detailing. The part-leather charcoal-coloured Recaro seats feature contrasting silver stitching, the seatbelts have silver detailing and the scuff plates are illuminated. The brake calipers are painted red.
The ST200 will act as a swansong for this generation of Fiesta . Ford is known to have be developing a new model, the first sighting of which is due in 2017 .
Ford of Europe’s Joe Bakaj describes the ST200 as “a future classic in the making”. The ST has been a big hit in the UK in particular, with almost two thirds of the 30,000 STs sold in Europe finding homes here.
Wow. Almost two thirds of Europe’s STs were sold in the U.K. Nice.
