Here are the pictures that prove the brilliant new Ford Fiesta is about to blow its top!
As blue oval’s sensational supermini sets up to wow British Motor Show visitors next week, we can reveal the cabriolet version – which is set to hit the road here in 18 months’ time!
The new Fiesta has already caused a stir with Ford fans and rivals in three and five-door form. Here in the UK, the cabrio will face a pack of rivals that has expanded quickly since the success of the Peugeot 206 CC.
The drop-top is likely to take inspiration from the Fiat 500 Cabriolet.
Ford currently offers a coup-cabriolet version of the larger Focus, but the first official open-top Fiesta will have a fabric roof. That will help keep weight gain to a minimum and mean performance, emissions and economy aren’t hampered.
For all the details on Ford’s newcomer make sure you pick up issue 1,022 of Auto Express, on sale Wednesday 23rd July. Plus don’t forget to log on next week for all the latest news from the British Motor Show, including exclusive video content.
