So now, it can be stated that there will not be any Fiesta RS model jumping into the Ford lineup, at least not at this time.
The Blue Oval may decide to change its mindset in the upcoming years to bring the previous-gen Fiesta ST a more impressive ST200 variant in some markets, aiming at satisfying the demand for a speedier supermini.
