No longer a one mode hooligan, the new Fiesta ST offers Normal mode, Sport mode, and Track mode, ramping up the throttle programming, noise levels (via an electronic sound actuator) and EPAS (Electronic Power
Assisted Steering) feedback levels,
whilst minimising ESC interventions.
An «Alfalink» multilink rear suspension and double wishbone front suspension are said to improve comfort and handling,
whilst a new «semi-virtual
steering axis» (Alfa - speak for electronically
assisted power
steering) is claimed to improve weight and dynamic feel through the corners.
