Ford unveiled its new-generation Fiesta ST at Geneva, and placed it alongside the hugely popular XR2 on its sprawling show stand. The new car gets Ford’s latest 1.5-litre Ecoboost engine, which puts out 197bhp – somewhat more than the 96bhp its Signal Red predecessor at the show did. The engine also features an electronic cylinder cut-off to save fuel, when you’re not gunning it.
The new car doesn’t go on sale until 2018, which is just in time to see in the 35th anniversary of the original Mk2 XR2:-
