The Mk7 Fiesta ST was a fantastic car. No doubt it will forever be remembered as one of Ford’s finest, and when tuners like Revo got their hands on the Mk7 ST its tuning potential was immediately obvious.
Fast forward just a few short years and we frequently see STs with well over 300bhp. This insatiable appetite for tuning (which isn’t over yet by the way, as new developments and upgrades are still finding their way to market), especially with companies like Revo behind the wheel (or laptop, in this case!) has meant the Fiesta ST has been heaped with praise and admiration. In keeping with the theme of this issue, you could say it’s a fast Ford legend in the making, if you will.
So, shall we all mourn the loss of a future legend then? Well, no. Not really. Because its replacement, the Mk8 ST, is even better! Despite being a hundred cc smaller and losing a cylinder, the more modern Mk8 ST is hands-down a better car than its predecessor. And given the gushy intro, you’ll know how fond of the Mk7 we are. So, it must be good.
Revo have a formidable reputation when it comes to tuning fast Fiestas, so we couldn’t wait to try their new Stage 1 upgrade for the latest Mk8 ST for ourselves…
And if the standard car is already in a stronger position, what will the tuners make of it? I’ve already driven a couple of Stage 1 tuned examples of the Mk8 ST, and I was incredibly impressed with them. But there’s one name that’s synonymous with fast Fiestas in Ford-tuning circles – Revo – so I was mega excited to see what their Stage 1 demo car had to offer.
