Pioneer Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 That is a Fiesta as much as the NASCAR Fusion is a production car. Is this guy supposed to be famous or something? Never heard of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT_MAN Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Pioneer: I actually have to say that car is a lot closer to a production Fiesta than the NASCAR Fusion is to the production Fusion. The NASCAR Fusion doesn't even share any body panels or anything with the production car (other than the blue oval badge). The Fiesta appears, to me at least, to at least share some body panels and possibly headlights? Not sure. Either way, cool video - thanks for posting it, jpvbs.

MERKURXR4Ti Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 NASCAR cars are tube frame aren't they? This appears to have the fiesta's frame...if nothing else. Driveline is all new I'm sure. I can't wait to hear the Subaru guys complain about how much better the last two were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Is this guy supposed to be famous or something? Never heard of him. Not a rally car fan I assume? Incredible video demonstrating some even more incredible driving skills. Awesome video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickF1011 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I'd rather watch a hockey game. You could probably list off 100 hockey "greats" that I've never heard of. Different strokes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpvbs Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Ford press release Built by Olsbergs Motorsport Evolution (MSE), the 2,425-pound Gymkhana THREE Fiesta sports a purpose-built Olsbergs engine capable of up to 850 brake horsepower, but is restricted to 650 horsepower to give Block the torque band needed to control the car. Equipped with an Olsbergs MSE Maktrak (magnesium) six-speed paddle-shift sequential transmission, it is capable of 660 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm and needs a mere 1.9 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph. Ford is getting some pretty good press out of this. They need capitalize on it an offer up a Fiesta RS/ST.
