The orange hot hatch received special chassis settings, stiffer Ford Performance Blue springs, and adjustable dampers with 12 compression and 16 rebound settings. Ground clearance was reduced by 15 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear.
The model's equipment list includes a front Quaife limited-slip differential, launch control, additional indicators on the instrument panel, a Bang&Olufsen audio system, and LED headlights. The car also received 18-inch wheels, which are 7 kg lighter in total than the wheel set of the regular Fiesta ST.
Under the hood of the Performance Edition version, the same 1.5-liter turbo engine with 200 hp is still installed, which has not been modified.
The Ford Fiesta ST Performance Edition will be available only on the UK market. The production run of the version will be 600 units.
