Iħjut Ir-revi żjoni tal-ewwel drive Ford Fiesta

L-ST il-ġdid huwa l-ewwel produzzjoni Fiesta li laqtet 62mph mill-mistrieħ f'inqas minn 7sec, iżda kif tmur kontra l- Renault sport Clio? L-aħħar sawm tiegħu Ford, il-Ford Fiesta ST. L-ST il-ġdid huwa l-ewwel produzzjoni Fiesta biex tilħaq 62mph mill-mistrieħ f'inqas minn seba 'sekondi, li jagħmilha ħoss partikolarment sprightly. Kif jista ': għandu 179bhp, li, għalkemm madwar 10 fil-mija inqas mill-klassijiet l-aktar mgħaġġla, għandu jkun biżżejjed f'supermini ta' erba 'metri li jiżen madwar 1100kg (il-kerbweight uffiċjali ġie rilaxxat fil-ħin tal-kitba). Dik il-produzzjoni tal-enerġija - b'saħħitha iżda mhux pendenti - għandha tagħtik idea ta 'fejn Ford beħsiebha l-Fiesta ST toqgħod fil-firxa tagħha. B'differenza Renault jew Peugeot, Ford dont għandha linja sportiva waħda, għandha badges ST u RS biex tuża, b'ST is-sewwieqa ta 'kuljum u RS il-mudelli iebsa. Allura, bħall-aħħar Focus ST, il-Fiesta hija maħsuba biex tkun pjaċevoli iżda mhux skomda, veloċi iżda doċli. Tiswa minn taħt is-17,000 u hija disponibbli f'żewġ livelli ta 'trim - ST1 u ST2, immaġinattivament, b'dawn tal-aħħar 1000 aktar għaljin u żżid sedili tal-ġilda msaħħna, parti, radju DAB u ftit ekstras oħra. Il-qawwa ġejja minn 1. Turbocharged ta '6 litri b'erba' borma u jsuq ir-roti ta 'quddiem permezz ta' gearbox manwali ta 'sitt veloċitajiet. M'hemm l-ebda għażla ta 'paddle flappy, u lanqas m'hemm differenzjali mekkaniku ta' żlieq limitat - il-preservazzjoni tal-mudelli RS, tħoss. Minflok, il-Fiesta tikseb Torque Vectoring Control, estensjoni tal-kontroll tal-istabbiltà li brejkijiet għażil ġewwa rota, li jirreplika wħud mill-effetti ta 'LSD. Is-sospensjoni hija 15mm inqas minn Fiestas regolari, ir-rati tar-rebbiegħa u tad-damper huma b'mod xieraq stiffer tad-dud, kif inhu r-raġġ tat-torsjoni ta 'wara, filwaqt li hemm ligi 17-in li jilbsu 205/40 Bridgestone Potenza kollha. L-istering tal-enerġija huwa assistit bl-elettriku, u huwa xtilliera differenti, aktar mgħaġġla (2. 4 dawriet) milli fuq Fiestas regolari, għalkemm jibqa 'lineari: b'differenza minn Servotronic, sistema li ma ssirx aktar mgħaġġla hekk kif tispiċċa fuq aktar serratura biex iżżid l-aġilità.

The new ST is the first production Fiesta to hit 62mph from rest in less than 7sec, but how does it fare against the Renault sport Clio?Its the latest fast Ford, the Ford Fiesta ST. The new ST is first production Fiesta to reach 62mph from rest in under seven seconds, which makes it sound particularly sprightly. As well it might: it has 179bhp, which, although around 10 per cent less than the classs fastest, should prove sufficient in a four-metre supermini that will weigh around 1100kg (official kerbweight hasnt been released at the time of writing). That power output – strong but not outstanding – should give you an idea of where Ford intends the Fiesta ST to sit in its range. Unlike Renault or Peugeot, Ford doesnt have one sporting line, it has ST and RS badges to use, with ST the daily drivers and RS the hardcore models. So, like the latest Focus ST, the Fiesta is meant to be enjoyable but not uncomfortable, fast but docile. It costs from under 17,000 and is available in two trim levels – ST1 and ST2, imaginatively, with the latter 1000 more expensive and adding heated, part leather seats, DAB radio and a few other extras. Power comes from a 1. 6-litre turbocharged four-pot and drives the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. Theres no flappy paddle option, and neither is there a mechanical limited-slip differential – the preserve of RS models, you feel. Instead, the Fiesta gets Torque Vectoring Control, an extension of the stability control that brakes a spinning inside wheel, replicating some of the effects of an LSD. Suspension is 15mm lower than regular Fiestas, spring and damper rates are appropriately a mite stiffer, as is the rear torsion beam, while there are 17-in alloys wearing 205/40 Bridgestone Potenza all round. The power steering is electrically assisted, and is a different, faster (2. 4 turns) rack than on regular Fiestas, though remains linear: unlike a Servotronic, system it doesnt get faster as you wind on more lock to increase agility.
