Ford has unveiled its answer to an ageing Fiesta, the limited edition Fiesta ST 500.

The ST 500 uses the same 148bhp 2.0-litre engine as the standard ST; however, cosmetic changes have been applied.

Choosing a colour for the Fiesta ST 500 shouldn’t prove too difficult, as it’s only available in metallic Panther black with white leather interior, 17″ black alloy wheels, red painted brake callipers and a silver ‘U’-shaped stripe on the bonnet to echo the livery of classic Escort RS2000 models of the 1970s.

Prices for the Fiesta ST 500 start at £15,000.
