Unlike other Ford vehicles, the Ford Fiesta has found unprecedented success in international arena. Actually, it was never introduced in North America. In 2010, this mini compact car is ready to make inroads in North American markets. First introduced in 1976, Ford Fiesta was a direct response to increasing oil prices. Henry Ford himself took keen interest in development of this vehicle with the aim of producing a car that would cost significantly less than its popular competitor, Ford Escort. The Bobcat, as it was known, rolled out simultaneously from multiple European locations as a 3 door hatchback and panel van. What really stirred car critics was its wide range of engines that could generate at least 1000 cc power, including some models that were 1600 cc. At that time it was the most powerful mini car in its class. Furthermore, its inline engine was equipped with catalytic converter and air pumps providing increased fuel economy.
Increasing Popularity
In just four years, Ford Fiesta overtook Vauxhall Chevete as the best selling mini car in Britain. Responding to this enthusiasm, engineers produced Ford Fiesta Mark II which also came with an automatic transmission, Fiestamatic. By 1986, Europeans were already demanding an even powerful version. Although, Ford did not yield to these demands due to probable competition from its own Ford Escort but it did offer approved fitting centers which would fit Ford Fiesta with an intensely powerful 93 KW engine. Dubbed as hot Fiesta, such cars became the highlight of various street shows, around Europe.
