The stylish alloy wheels are especially reserved for the Fiesta RS Turbo. They are 14” x 51/2” with 185 /55 VR14 tyres, and combine with the specially designed suspension arrangement to match the formidable power of the turbo engine, and to provide road-hugging grip in performance motoring conditions.

The security of the Fiesta RS Turbo is enhanced by the provision of central locking as standard, the tailgate is remotely released from inside the car and the fuel filler cap has a high-security lock.

Beneath the surface of the Fiesta RS Turbo lies a wealth of technology and engineering excellence which endows the car with its undeniable performance qualities. The heart of the machine is a muscular fuel-injected 1.6 engine equipped with a Garrett AiResearch turbocharger which extends the power output to 133 PS at 5500RPM.

This eager and free-revving engine delivers its power smoothly and responsively, its crispness benefiting not only from the extra impetus of a turbocharger, but also from the advanced electronics which endow the ignition and combustion systems with such precision.
