Ford rally team offers M-Sport Fiesta TDCi

Another day, another hot hatch we can't have in America. Today's teaser: the Ford M-Sport Fiest TDCi. This special Fiesta is prepared by Ford's WRC team M-Sport, which just celebrated a one-two-three-five finish at the Swedish rally, in conjunction with British dealer Stan Palmer Ford.

The rally-inspired Fiesta runs a 99-hp 1.6-liter Zetec S diesel engine, which can be upgraded – for an extra £500 over the £13,495 sticker price – to 120 hp. It also comes with 17-inch anthracite multi-spoke OZ alloys, leather-and-Altantara interior and the requisite special badging inside and out. British customers should check out the press release after the jump and run to Stan Palmer Ford if they're interested, as only 50 examples will be made. As for us, we'll just settle for another banzai Mustang in the meantime.
