O dourado está muito semelhante às imagens que circularam por aí do futuro Alfa 149.

O verde está muito apelativo.

New Ford Fiesta: the lowdown


Last week we brought you the new Mondeo ; this week, it's the new Fiesta. Ford's top-selling supermini will be replaced in a year's time and we've been snooping on the cold-weather testing in Scandinavia.

This car is an engineering mule, hidden under the body of a current Fiesta. The new model will share its mechanical package with the new Mazda 2, as well as Ford's own city car project, the Ka, and its Fiat 500 twin.



So what's new on next year's Ford Fiesta?

Ford ain't about to mess with a winning formula. Despite being in its fifth year, the current Fiesta is the Blue Oval's second-best-selling car, with more than 103,000 registered in the UK alone last year. That's 30,000 more than its nearest rival, the Vauxhall Corsa.

So expect a front-wheel drive hatchback, with only a modest size increase over today's car. There will be a range of petrol engines, each with direct-injection for cleaner emissions: a 1.3, 1.6 or 1.8-litre four-cylinder. Diesel-lovers can pick between a 1.4 and a 1.6, fruits of Ford's collaboration with Peugeot-Citroen.

Every new car that comes along these days benefits from the cascade effect of technology trickling down from loftier sectors. The new Fiesta will be no different. A full suite of airbags will be offered, along with electronic niceties such as ESP stability control, cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity for phones and iPods. The days of the stripped-out supermini are fast disappearing...



What sort of exciting Fiesta spin-offs can I expect?

Ford has enjoyed considerable success with the Focus ST, and is readying a hot version of its new supermini to appeal to enthusiasts. We hear of a 1.6 turbo developing around 170bhp, plus chassis revisions and a butch body kit for swifter go and show. It won't end there. The Fusion is set to be replaced by another high-roof mini-MPV style car, possibly rebadged B-Max in line with Ford's C- and S-Max ranges. Although never a big seller, the Fusion does in fact outsell traditional superminis such as the Seat Ibiza.

We'll see the new Fiesta, replete in its mini-Mondeo new 'Kinetic design' clothes, in early 2008, with sales starting in summer next year.

New Ford Fiesta Spy Photos

Confirmed for U.S.A

Behold the first photos of the 2009 Ford Fiesta, photographed while taking a break from testing on North American soil. No longer just for fuel-conscious Europeans, this next-generation Fiesta will be sold in the U.S., as confirmed by Ford officials at the previous Geneva Motor Show.

The Fiesta’s design follows Ford of Europe’s kinetic design language, and this look is expected to be sold virtually unchanged on each side of the Atlantic. According to Ford of Europe design chief Martin Smith, quoted in a Motor Trend article by Paul Horrell: “Cars with one design theme will be sold in the other market”, meaning that the demarcation between Ford’s U.S. And European design language will become more flexible, and will likely disappear altogether. Horrell reports: “The new Fiesta will look almost exactly the same in the U.S. As it will in Europe. It was signed off on before the decision was made to sell it here. Minor engineering changes, including a slightly longer nose, will be necessary to federalize the U.S. Model, but it will be ‘a kinetic-design car, absolutely,’ says Smith.” Those predictions appear accurate after viewing this prototype.

The next-generation Fiesta will be based on the Mazda2, and the silhouette of this three-door Fiesta prototype looks remarkably similar to the five-door Mazda2. But the styling similarities end there. The Fiesta’s styling is more conventionally European, with prominent wheel arches at each corner. The C-pillar kicks ups assertively, adding a little strength to the familiar hatchback shape. The current Fiesta’s Focus-inspired pillar-mounted tail-lamps will be replaced with rear lights that run along the car’s belt line.

Ford CEO Alan Mulally has been eager to leverage the Blue Oval’s global resources, and the Fiesta’s planned entry into the U.S. Market is a bold move in that direction. The appearance of a Fiesta prototype on the U.S. Testing scene confirms that the globalization plan is more than talk, and is actually coming to fruition. A 1.6- liter gasoline engine is the only engine likely to be offered on the U.S. Version, but Europe will certainly have diesel options, which could conceivably come our way if the U.S. Market becomes more diesel- friendly. Ford’s ability to turn a profit on a sub-Focus model in the U.S. Is still in question, so we would expect the Fiesta to be manufactured in Mexico, or possibly Brazil, and arrive some time in the 2008 calendar year as an ‘09 model.

O que é essa coisa disfarçada com uma capa preta e branca

O que é essa coisa disfarçada com uma capa preta e branca

Só sei que tem o "/jipe mode" activado

[lclsa]

se o objectivo é disfarçar , pq metem la o simbolo da ford?
Se calhar nem um ford é , espero que nao seja o fiesta lol
so sei que devo ter este proximo fiesta , e estava a gostar , mas agora ja nao estou lol

[jts]

Este último felizmente não tem nada a ver. É o sucessor do Ka ou Fiesta para os lados das américas.

Correcto.
Alias, já se viu uma maquete do carro à uns bons meses (um ano e tal)

[Grilo]

Esse spy das últimas fotos não é o novo Fiesta, mas sim o sucessor do Ka a ser lançado ainda esse ano aqui no Brasil.

Quanto ao novo Fiesta, também será produzido no Brasil, para ser exportado para os USA.

[tunedpuma]

ufa , ainda bem que este e para esses lados , ja estava a estranhar pois este nao parecia um carro para a europa , so se fosse um ka (mas com essa altura ao solo ) teria de se chamar small suv ,

[MINIBoy]

Já está em testes (usando a carroceira de um Mazda):

lol.. estas fotos estao estranhas... jantes minusculas.. carro alto... parece o meu EVO nas curvas.. qs k vira...

Os primeiros Shops:

destes sim.. ja gosto espero k venha assim :D

[CarlosAndrade]

[Sotor]

Não está feio agora essa grelha inferior eu tirava-a fora a aproveitava para assar umas bifanas

[Valium]

Este azul já é versão final ou ainda shop? Assim já parece qq coisa...
Os retrovisores é que parecem exagerados...

[MoonshieldDay]

Este shop azul é feito sob uma press foto do mazda 2

Assim ta lindo !

[nogueiraribeiro]

Não é por nada mas se o carro tiver as formas dinais da versão de testes, nada têm a ver com os shops!!

Ford Fiesta mk2 e 3 - dúvidas motorizações

algume sabe ou me pode indicar algum site onde possa tirar uma dúvida:
- o motor 1.1L do Fiesta mk2, 1983-1989 (que era o mk1 renovado) era o mesmo que o do popular mk3, 1988-1995?

obrigado

Ford_Fiesta_MK3.jpg

[Unreal]

Penso que sim...
Posso estar em erro, mas um tem 45/50CV e o outro 50/55...

[RPM]

Têm a mesma base mas não são exactamente o mesmo.

Valencia - Mk2
The engine was revised to suit front wheel drive installation in 1976, co-inciding with the launch of the Ford Fiesta. The ancilliaries were repositioned and the cylinder head redesigned. This version of the Kent was known as the Valencia engine, after the Spanish production plant in which it was made. It would later see service in the third generation Ford Escort. Even TVR used the engine in the Grantura, Vixen, and 1600M.

HCS - Mk3
In 1988 the engine was revised once again to meet with tightening European emissons legislation and the requirement to use unleaded fuel. The redesign included an all-new cylinder head with hardenened valve inserts, reshaped combustion chambers, and a fully electronic distributorless ignition system. The engine was renamed the Ford HCS (High Compression Swirl). It first appeared on the Ford Escort, then was later used on the third generation Ford Fiesta.

Tanto quanto me é possível saber têm ambos 50cv, ainda que na prática a versão catalizada seja mais amorfa do que a não catalizada.

[Locoster]

Desde já agradeço os esclarecimentos.

Já vi que não têm na verdade o mesmo motor (em rigor).
Mas já que falas em amorfismos, para aproveitar mecânicas para fazer uma 'brincadeira' apostarias mais no Mk2?

obrigado

[ESPRIT]

Que me perdoem os fans, mas esse motor "apenas" tem como vantagem durabilidade.
Motor simples e ultrapassado, lento e gastador.
Apresenta uma solução pré-histórica de arvore de cames lateral, q faz c q tenha aquele barulho enorme.

[Unreal]

Não gasta assim tanto.

Tenho ideia de no manual dizer que o 1.1 tem 55Cv.
Daqui a bocado confirmo no manual


1.1
Power (hp/rpm) 55/5200
Torque (lb ft/rpm) 63/2700
Weight (lb) 1927
Top speed (mph) 90
0-60 mph (sec) 15.3
Standing ¼ml (sec) 20

No manual vem lá : 40 KW /54 PS
