Coming to a Ford dealer near you. I'm impressed they managed to get that road legal.

Yep looks a handful, bit scary when it leaves the ground. The noise is just fantastic, nothing like a turbo working hard.

Yep the new Fiesta's are going to do some serious damage to the competition I reckon.....especially if its priced correctly... which it appears to be.

to give it some scale on how fast that thing is. A time of 7.22 would put it as the 13th or 14the fastest car on the ring.
The Commodore did a time of 8.19 which comes in at #189 on the list of times. Still a respectable time though. Here is a good list of times if you want to compare how the 3cyl did against other cars. http://fastestlaps.com/tracks/nordschleife.html |
