The ST's engine can produce 197 hp and enable this Fiesta trim to hit speeds of up to 144 mph, which is outstanding for a car of its size and price. The Fiesta ST offers speed, power, and fuel efficiency in bucket loads.

With its awesome engine, the sleek gearbox also enhances its performance. It is a six-speed manual transmission, which is known to be eager and smooth.

To get the most out of the engine, the driver can choose between three driving modes: Normal, Sport, and Track. Clearly, it isn't a car just made for the city streets. You could, for instance, enjoy its top speeds by taking it for a spin around your local track and even by competing in races.

You won't need to hang on tight when you reach its top speeds, either, and the interior is snug and comfortable so that you'd be able to remain well-put when shifting around bends at high speeds.
