Big scoop today guys - thanks to FordFiestaST.com visitors we bring you news of a Fiesta ST prototype that has been testing in Germany. We can't reveal the details of where the Fiesta appeared, but lets just say someone had a camera handy and caught some images before the car disappeared. The car is in silver and features a part-leather blue interior. Our photos are the first ever to show a silver Fiesta ST and also include details never seen before - such as under the bonnet. It's all looking rather good.

Nice pics, now thats just helped confirm I would like one in Silver!

Anyone notice that the wheels have changed?

God I can not wait to test drive this car in November then

My current car is black and it's a nightmare to keep clean. Also the slightest mark shows up big time.

So I would need to view the silver one in the flesh as I have already seen it in red. BTW I really do like that blue trim on the seats.

Gazza...

Wowsers!!

What a coup.

They are 9 spoke now rather than 11. And the design has changed quite a bit.

EDIT: I actually prefer the new design. The wheels were always my least favorite part of the ST styling.

What happened to the 6 disc-changer stereo as in your brochure scans? So I suppose thats only an option?

I've been asking round and I dont think this spec ST in th epics is the one we will be seeing here in the UK... in other words I think it will have the 11 spoke alloys and other bits... dont quote me on this though.

I suspect some of the bits inside such as the stereo will change from country to country. But I would expect whichever wheel design was chosen would be used globally.

Also it looks like well also have a car with the electronic stability programme aswell, but knowing ford, it will probably be an option and not a standard feature

I think ESP is quite common on new cars in Germany, which accounts for it being in the pictures, you're probably be right about it just being an option here.

ESP is expensive, it'll never be fitted as standard over here and if it is expect the car to be £500+ more expensive.

I wouldn't want it, I hate traction control as it is.

Ford's ESP system is pretty damn good, but I would rather not have it. Better to drive within the limits of the car and conditions.
