Alright, so I know you’ve probably had more Fiesta than any one human should be submitted to, but good Rhys Millen has dropped a video of his record-breaking two wheel-drive Pikes Peak run on the interwebs. The flick is dripping with cinematic ooo-gooeyness, complete with sunrise sideways action. The question is, how does it stack [...]
Looks like one of the wicked, 800 horsepower Ford Fiestas went for broke and succeeded at last weekend’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The car, piloted by none other than rally guru Andrea Eriksson went four-wheel sideways off the course, landing in a small gully below. Both Eriksson and his copilot are fine and eventually [...]
You know, 800 horsepower is a lot of gusto for a car this size. It’s really easy to rattle off that number without an eye toward just what that means. These days, 800 ponies isn’t all that big of a deal, especially in light of the tuning scene’s ever-present quest for loftier dyno specs. The [...]
The Fiesta Movement takes a new turn at the end of the month when rally prepped versions of the coming-soon-to-America Ford Fiesta enter the fourth running of the X Games Rally Super Special at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. Three Fords go into battle with the ubiquitous Subaru Imprezas and Mitsubishi EVOs. The [...]
Maybe so, Fiends. Good Dr. Lieberman over at WebRidesTV has unearthed an interesting category on the car’s option sheet. Simply labeled “Turbo Kit,” no one knows exactly what the deal is. Sure, we know Ford’s itching for up to 90 percent of its fleet to boast Ecoboost (direct injection + turbo), but if the Blue [...]
Ford’s letting a pair of rallycross spec Fiestas loose on this year’s Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb. The Olsberg Motor Sport Evolution team plans to campaign two of the pint-sized Blue Ovals at one of the oldest hill climbs in the country. Swedish rally legends Andreas Eriksson and Marcus Gronholm will helm the cars, powered [...]
The Fiesta Movement is underway. In case you’ve been living under a rock or aren’t part of the Facebook/Twitter generation the Fiesta Movement is Ford’s innovative way of introducing the 2010 Ford Fiesta by putting 100 Euro spec cars in the hands of influencers. The “agents” get possession of a car, free gas and insurance [...]
The new Ford Fiesta that the interwebs are all abuzz about just debuted in rally cross form at the first round of the European Rally Cross championship Lydden Hill in the UK. The car pictured here is built and run by Sweden based MSE/Ford TeamRS and piloted by European Rally Cross champion, Andreas Erikkson. While [...]
Ford has finally brought its newest global effort to our shores. Around 100 Ford Fiestas rolled off of a cargo ship yesterday, proving Ford intends to fulfill its promise to plop the Euro-spec five-doors in the hands of 100 Web-savvy folk for six whole months. We’ll go ahead and tell you now, Levy and I [...]
I. In keeping with its LP6bazillion-4 formula, Lamborghini released a new Murcielago roadster. Called the Lp650-4, it’s got 650 stallions, 487 torques and no roof. If you want one, get in line and have your million bucks ready, they’re only making 50. [Source: 0-60]
