Ford Fiesta ST (Mk8)

The Ford Fiesta ST (Mk8) reaches 60 mph in 6.14 s (100 km/h in 6.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.58 s, tripping the lights at 96.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.29 s and the eighth mile in 9.49 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Fiesta ST (Mk8)

The 2019 Ford Fiesta ST (Mk8) is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,262 kg with 197 bhp, which works out at 156 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.29 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,405th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 75th quickest of the 789 Fords here. Its 96.2 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Ford Fiesta ST (Mk8) 0-60 time?
The Ford Fiesta ST (Mk8) reaches 60 mph in 6.14 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,405th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ford Fiesta ST (Mk8) quarter mile time?
14.58 s at 96.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.49 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.29 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ford Fiesta ST (Mk8) have?
197 bhp and 1,262 kg, which is 156 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 232 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ford Fiesta ST (Mk8)?
Closest here on pace: MINI Hatch 5dr Cooper S 2.0 192 (6.15 s), MINI Clubman JCW Mk I (6.09 s), Cadillac CTS 4 2.0T (6.04 s). Each one can be raced against the Ford Fiesta ST (Mk8) in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ford Fiesta ST (Mk8) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-16. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
