New details are starting to emerge about the 2012 Ford Fiesta ST.
Designed to battle the latest crop of hot hatches, the model will feature an aggressive front fascia, a tailgate-mounted spoiler, and a new rear bumper with an integrated diffuser. Interior changes will likely be minor, but should include revised trim and Recaro sport seats.
Power will reportedly be provided by a 1.6-liter Ecoboost engine that develops 180 hp (134 kW / 182 PS). It will be paired to a six-speed manual transmission, but we wouldn't be surprised if a six-speed PowerShift automatic was optional (at least on U.S. models).
The Fiesta ST is slated to be launched sometime next year, so stay tuned for additional information.
