The Turbo Technics Fiesta ST S285 sends just shy of 300bhp to the front wheels, and we've put it through its paces -
So there’s huge potential to leave other drivers wondering why this little Fiesta just left them for dead. The boot badge is a giveaway but that’s optional, and whatever you just gapped probably won’t get a look at the front, where you can more easily spot an enormous new aluminium intercooler lurking behind the black grilles.
Pop the bonnet and your gaze is drawn to a new air filter the size of a biscuit barrel and the bright blue Samco hose connecting it to the standard turbo intake elbow. The turbo looks standard too but the ‘hybrid’ turbocharger that Turbo Technics has designed and developed is all-new apart from the external housing, and even the inside of that side is CNC machined to accommodate the new, machined-from-billet compressor wheel and high-flow turbine wheel.
It’s such a deliciously massive, torque-rich delivery that it even makes sense of the super-long ratios of the Fiesta’s standard six-speed gearbox. In sixth at 60mph, the revs are at just over 2000rpm, on the cusp of boost. Floor it and in no time the Fiesta is hauling hard on full boost and the shove is so solid you expect it to carry on pushing at this rate until it hits the limiter.The chassis copes, too.
The Fiesta doesn’t feel uncomfortable with so much extra torque, then. Yes, it’ll push a bit wide in corners before being reined in, and if you turn off the electronic aids it’ll do it dramatically, but you quickly get comfortable with the level of performance and, importantly, you can get just as much as you want with hardly any lag.
So, an £8k, bulletproof upgrade. That sounds like a lot, but if you love the sound of a feisty triple and the feel of oodles of torque and power delivered with finesse, this is a seriously impressive and addictive conversion. A standard ST on 17s with such generous performance is an absolute blast, but maybe the dream package is this kit applied to a usedTurbo Technics Fiesta ST S285 specs
