Fast Ford fans are set to celebrate the return of a sporty ÚK favourite the exciting yet accessible Fiesta Zetec S. Ford's stylish new small car will offer a sports model from its ÚK launch this autumn, giving driving enthusiasts a new benchmark for affordable driving fun. It will also continue the 'Zetec S' name, first introduced to the Fiesta in 1999. Ford of Britain's marketing director, Mark Ovenden, said: 'Fiesta has always stood for fun and Zetec S delivers this wîth a capital ‘F'. Lively performance and sporty styling mean it looks great and goes as well as it looks.'

It returns a combined fuel economy of 47.9mpg and CO2 emissions of 139g/km. Fiesta Zetec S will also be available wîth a 1.6-litre 90PS Duratorq TDCi, providing a more relaxed driving character and even greater efficiency. The exceptionally flexible engine sips fuel at 67.3mpg, generating just 110g/km CO2. Even so, it develops 204 Nm torque from only 1,750 rpm and its mid-range performance is underlined by a 31-
