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 2,929 cars in the set it is the 2,011th quickest to 60 mph, and the 50th quickest of the 109 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.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

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 2026-09-01. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
