New Ford Fiesta ST starts production ahead of first deliveries in March

Ford has started production of the new Fiesta ST at its plant in Cologne ahead of first customer cars arriving in Ford’s UK showrooms in March. By the time the Fiesta ST arrived at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show it had turned in to a full production model – with little change from the concept – and we finally got UK prices for the Fiesta ST last month, with the promise that Ford would be getting the first STs to customers in March. That plan looks like it’s on track as Ford announce the Fiesta ST has now started to roll off the production line in Cologne (and even the first STs coming off the line get Ford’s orange statement paint job).

But the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport ‘L’Or Blanc’ is even more potty than usual – it’s got bits of porcelain all over the car. That’s porcelain as in ceramics; the stuff your best China is made from, that goes on the walls in the kitchen and bathroom and insulates power stations.
