The Ford Fiesta Has Already Been Rendered As An ST And RS
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: the Internet’s car renders work damn fast. Just take these sporty Fiesta renders, which Hungarian renderer X-Tomi Design put together mere days after the all-new version of Ford’s big-selling supermini was revealed.
Let’s start with the Fiesta ST, as that’s a car which we can say is going to happen with near certainty. Its looks aren’t surprising, since the new Fiesta doesn’t represent a radical departure from the old one in terms of styling. This ST vision is perhaps a little prettier than the current car, though.
What’ll be nestling under the bonnet is something of a mystery: Ford could simply update the existing, surprisingly muscular 1.6-litre turbocharged four-pot, but there have been rumours in the past about a future Fiesta ST adopting a highly modified version of the 1.0-litre Ecoboost engine.
Next up, we have a Fiesta RS. Ford ruled out an RS version of the outgoing Fiesta on multiple occasions, but the next-gen car? Who knows.
If it did happen and the ST was powered by a three-pot, perhaps the RS would use a four-cylinder engine. We’re speculating massively of course, but then this is a hypothetical car which probably won’t happen.
Which do you like the look of the most: the ST, or the RS?

st 💪🏼
The ST, pls
RS!
I’m a sucker for performance cars, so I’ll definitely pick the RS.
1.0-litre ST? Highly unlikely, because:
Firstly, Ford just don’t have a 1.0 engine that would produce over 180PS. If they did, they would tell us about it already.
Secondly, making a 1.0 engine with 180PS+ is.. challenging and too expensive
Thirdly, as it was discussed before, extreme downsizing has a negative effect on fuel economy
So.. most likely its going to be the engine from the current ST200.
And a GT350R
ST. Doesn’t look so aggressive.
Just the same 1.6 L with massive power coming from it. How ‘bout 240hp or less? There some tuning companies who can tweak engine at a high rate. I am talking about the ST or the please-make-it-happen-only-if RS version.
There already is a kit for the rs bumpers for the fiesta build by maxd out design. I know of one fiesta st in the netherlands that has the rs bumpers and wing and has it tuned to about 260 bhp i think. It looks awesome
