The Ford Fiesta ST might be the least powerful of the new supermini hot hatches currently on the market, but it's also the cheaper than the Clio RS and 208 GTi, so there's always going to be plenty of money in the bank left for customization.
Today's Fiesta ST tuning project comes from Loder1899, a German company that specializes in Aston Martin, Land Rover, Jaguar and Ford. They took the Fiesta and breathed new life into it, especially under the bonnet.
Through the usual mix of ECU, filter and exhaust, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost has increased its output from 182 PS and 240 Nm (177 lb-ft) of torque to 235 HP (173 kW) and 335 Nm (247 lb-ft) of torque.
The addition of 53 hp has made this car 0.4 seconds faster to 100 km/h. "Back in the day that was just what you’d expect from a Porsche 911 who’d have thought that the small Ford would be mixing it with the big boys today," the tuner says.
Besides the engine mods, Loder1899 has also installed Brembo brakes and lightweight Sparco alloy wheels with sticky rubber.
Editor's note: This is more like Monture tuning with some other kind of wheels.
