Ford Fiesta with 800bhp
Rallycross-adapted Fiesta with 800bhp will compete at Pike's Peak hillclimb this July

By Jack Rix28th May 2009

Already bored of your factory-standard Zetec S? Then this could be the Fiesta for you! As part of Ford US�s ongoing campaign to promote the small hatchback stateside, it�s announced that it will be entering a pair of Rallycross Fiestas in this year�s Pike�s Peak hillclimb.

But here�s the fun part� The car which is currently competing in the European Rallycross Championship makes do with 550bhp from its 2.0-litre turbocharged Duratec engine, whereas the hillclimb duo will be retuned to kick out closer to 800bhp! That means a 0-60mph time of around 2.8-seconds � identical to the Bugatti Veyron.

Ford says its aim is to complete the 12.4-mile course in less than 10-minutes, a feat that�s never been achieved. But the cars are in safe hands � rallying-legends Marcus Gronholm and Andreas Eriksson will be piloting the Fiestas around the 156-turn course.

Peak Performance, Ford Fiesta at Pikes Peak

he Ford Motor Company has decided to unveil a racing version of the compact Fiesta at one of the oldest automotive competitions in North America, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and created this short film in the spirit of the Ari Vatanen Classic "Climb Dance." The blue oval recruited a rally racing ringer, Marcus Gronholm for the nearly 13 mile, 156 turn course that ends at 14,110 feet above sea level. Although they were aiming to break into the record books the team was unsuccessful this time, but even still, it’s not a bad showing that the 800 HP 2.0 Liter turbocharged Duratec inline four cylinder engine powered Fiesta made it all the way up the hill on its first attempt.
