Bad News: Ford Fiesta RS Still Not In The Cards

Despite persistent rumors stretching back several years that Ford might have been developing a super-hot, RS-badged version of its Fiesta subcompact based on the previous-generation model, such a car never materialized.

Nor will the all-new Fiesta spawn an RS variant, as it turns out. Ford Fiesta ST Chief Program Engineer Matthias Tonn spoke to the UK’s Autocar at the Geneva Motor Show recently, telling the publication: “there was always room in the range [for a Fiesta RS], but we don’t develop it.”

Tonn was reportedly “emphatic” in telling Autocar that a Ford Fiesta RS would not be developed, although the ST Chief Program Engineer said that a higher-performance edition similar to Europe’s 2017 Fiesta ST200 could be offered in the future. That car, which was never brought to the United States, is effectively a regular ST with a factory Mountune kit and a shorter final drive. Whether its replacement might ever cross the pond is a mystery.

For now, the all-new Ford Fiesta ST is still about a year out from production, according to Mr. Tonn, so it’s still a tad early to be considering an even higher-performance variant. It’s not too early, however, to mourn the Fiesta RS that will never be.

  • Am I detecting a pattern that suggests Ford will never do anything that separates them from the crowd as far as main stream autos is concerned? Fiesta could already be in a class by itself with just a little more power. But the company seems always content to be just "in the running". Beginning to think Mark Fields and Bill Ford have some grand scheme that doesn't involve Ford Motor Company.

  • I do trust all of the ideas you've presented to your post.
    They're really convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are very short for novices.
    May you please lengthen them a little from next time?

    Thank you for the post.

    Thanks , I have recently been searching for information approximately this
    subject for ages and yours is the greatest I have discovered till now.

    However, what about the conclusion? Are you sure about the source?

  • I read this post completely about the resemblance of
    latest and preceding technologies, it's remarkable article.

  • That explains why increasingly more folks spend an enormous sum
    of money to buy courses that present the best way to enhance fans for his or her
    Facebook web page.

  • Continue along the newly built road for an hour to Chu Va Village of
    the Red H’mong located at the foot of Hoang Lien Mountain pass on the bank
    of clear stream. Instead, perfect contact joints and interlocking stone blocks were used to hold
    the structure together. So come to Goa and plan your Goa tour as the place is
    endowed with fascinating attractions and scenic
    beaches which have made this smallest state of
    India globally famous.

  • always i used to read smaller articles or reviews which also clear their motive, and that is also happening with
    this paragraph which I am reading now.
