New wheelZ on stand


Much awaited Ford Fiesta 1.6 Duratec S is ready to roll out and so just I shared what I collected from bunch of sites.

The  petrol –
Never has raw performance looked so good! A 101 PS engine, all-new colors, new aerodynamic styling kit, 15 inch alloys and all new ebony and jasper blue interior environment makes this the "car buffs" dream come true!
A car that’s every bit what it looks like, and more. 101 PS, 0-100 in 11.43 seconds, five star rated for handling and stability… now in the skin of a true blue street rod. 
With 15 inch alloy wheels, low profile rubber, aerodynamic spoilers, and a front air dam that will suck in enough to leave everyone on the outside breathless. And then there’s the inside. New ebony and jasper blue interior environment, a honeycomb instrument cluster, leather wrapped steering wheel and optimum aluminum finish gear lever. Punched alloy pedals, brush steel console and the refined aggression that only fine pedigree can bring. After all, when you’ve worked hard for the success you’ve achieved, you might as well enjoy flaunting it!


Safety is not an optional extra on the New Ford Fiesta. Driver and passenger airbags provide calm reassurance, no matter what the road conditions are.
Air bags supplement the safety belt by reducing the chance that the passenger's head and upper body will strike some part of the vehicle's interior. They also help reduce the risk of serious injury by distributing crash forces more evenly across the occupant's body 
Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) determines the load condition on the front and rear axles and makes differentiated adjustments to the braking pressures. ABS also allows the driver to swerve around an obstacle without having to release the brakes. With ABS the driver is in full control always. 

The DTE displays the estimated distance the vehicle can travel before it runs out of fuel. This is displayed in the centrally mounted instrument cluster LCD and is displayed when the ignition is switched on or when the engine is running. 
About 400 virtual crash simulations were done during the Fiesta's development, with every simulation taking approximately 5 hours of a super computer. Each of these computers have 256 CPU's (a normal computer has one) and 10, 00,000 MB RAM (a normal computer has 512mb). In fact, the computers engaged in this exercise are similar to the ones used by NASA.

Intelligent technology enhances every bit of the New Ford Fiesta’s performance. Be it GEM, the Generic Electronic Module that decides optimum engine performance parameters based on your driving style, or the automatic defoggers that switch off (timed), the defogging so that glass does not get damaged. And Drive-By-Wire technology ensures that your every wish is your car’s command.
And to conclude, It has many flavors together i.e. like two side of coins, both styling and performance. On the other hand the New Fiesta range is luxurious but it also looks sporty. On one hand it’s safe, and on the other it’s exciting. On one hand it’s economical, on the other it gives you best in class acceleration.
