While some of you may think that the Ford Fiesta ST is a perfectly fine hot hatch with just enough power to get your kicks, some people just can’t leave it alone.

And why would they as the platform of this turbocharged Fiesta is ideal for easy horsepower increases which combined with its compact size can make this hatchback even more hilarious to drive.

This specific Fiesta has a pretty extensive list of upgrades, both to its chassis and to its engine to help it achieve rather ridiculous performance levels for its size. Among the updates is of course a bigger turbo that helped the 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine produce around 335hp at the crank.

It looks like the updated chassis helps the little Fiesta put the power down rather nicely, turning the small Ford into a proper firecracker of a car. After all, there’s nothing quite like a nicely sorted small car with big numbers attached to it.
