3 Ford Fiestas Announced to Take on the X Games


 Ford Fiesta

The Ford Fiesta is still about a year away from its U.S. relaunch, but we can check it out at ESPN's X Games with a trio of rally-prepped vehicles on July 30-August 2 in Los Angeles. The drivers will be Olsbergs Motor Sport Evolution's Kenny Brack and ROCKSTAR Energy Drink's Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan.

The Pike's Peak Fiesta was epic! These Fiestas will be a little bit tamer, but they are still fully equipped race cars. This is the first time a Ford has competed as a race car in X Games competition, too. I really don't think Ford has much to worry about, considering who they have driving.

I'm all the more excited now for the X Games, since we will get to see the Fiesta in its rawest form in the states!

Ford Unleashing 800hp Fiesta on Pike's Peak this July!


 800hp Ford Fiesta

At 800hp, this 2L Ford Fiesta is a bit of a promo stunt by Ford as it gears up to bring the Fiesta back to the states. The Fiesta will be Ford Motor Company's main competition vehicle for rallying in the coming years, though. The highly modified Fiesta will feature an all-wheel-drive system and custom suspension with other modifications that have not been revealed.

There will be two Fiestas competing July 19th at Pike's Peak. They will be driven by Andreas Eriksson and rally legend Marcus Grönholm in the 'Unlimited Class' at Pike's Peak, in an attempt to be the first team to break the 10-minute mark over the 12.4-mile, 156-turn pavement and gravel course.

I can't wait to see this take place! You can grab the full press release here.
