Deemed to be unconditional testers of hyper sports cars, British magazine Top Gear has chosen the Ford Fiesta ST as their 2013 Car of the Year.
This contrasts a little bit with the reputation of the magazine which is to evaluate the sports cars of all types and often including the most powerful cars in the world.
A little bomb
The Ford Fiesta ST is sold on the European market as a hatchback in three and five-door configurations.
The Fiesta ST is powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that delivers 80 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. Only a six-speed manual transmission is offered.
The car goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds while its top speed is 219 km/h. Its combined fuel consumption is 5.9 L/100 km.
