The exterior has been completely revised since then and the interior now features a three-seat layout and central driving position, à la the McLaren F1. Uniquely, access to the cabin is via a flip-up roof containing individual jet fighter-style...

  • New Ford Fiesta ST, 2017 Geneva auto show

    When does 3 equal 4? When you turbocharge the 3. That's the philosophy with the next-generation Ford Fiesta ST, which was revealed this week at the 2017 Geneva auto show.

Power remains the same at 197 horses, but you have to bet that the 3-cylinder is lighter and that translates to more fun. Ford quotes a 0 to 62 mph time of 6.7 seconds, which is about a half-second quicker than the current car. This all-aluminum 3-cylinder has some pretty cool technology. It will be...
