One year on from the start of the latest Fiesta ST’s tenure, Ford has unveiled a limited edition ST that is a UK exclusive.
Called the Ford Performance Edition, only 600 units will be sold and it is based on the top-end ST-3 – with additional parts from its performance catalogue being fitted.
All the editions will be finished in Deep Orange paint and come in the three-door layout, with Ford Performance adding special 18-inch alloys and a coilover suspension pack with stainless steel damper housing and powder-coated springs.
With this new setup, the ride height has been dropped by 15mm at the front and 10mm at the rear – while customers can manually adjust the suspension through 12 bump and 16 rebound settings.

Andy Barratt, Ford of Britain managing director, said: “The Fiesta ST is the car that keeps on giving. It’s fast, fun, affordable, practical and economical – and now we’ve built a unique example for Ford fans wanting to stand out from the crowd.
“This ST is for customers who are performance-oriented drivers and tuning enthusiasts who demand maximum fun on the road combined with a sporty appearance – the ultimate Fiesta ST.”
Going on sale next month, Ford hasn’t confirmed pricing yet but has said that it will be at least £3,000 more than the ST-3 – so expect prices around £25,500. Order books open in June, with deliveries beginning in September.
