We bring you live shots of the Ford Fiesta ST from the Asia Klasika 2014 event at the Pullman Putrajaya Hotel, where the car is being previewed this weekend.

There are four units here today - two in Spirit Blue and the other two in Molten Orange. Two are on static display while the other pair, wearing trade plates, are being offered for short test drives.

Under the bonnet sits a 1.6 litre EcoBoost turbocharged engine offering 182 PS at 5,700 rpm and 240 Nm (290 Nm of time-limited overboost) from 1,600 to 5,000 rpm. Coupled solely to a B6 six-speed manual transmission, the hot-hatch gets to 100 km/h from rest in 6.9 seconds and carries on towards a 224 km/h top speed.

Fully imported (CBU) from Cologne, Germany, the Ford Fiesta ST is priced at RM149,888, OTR with insurance (or RM145,842 without insurance). Offered is a three-year/100,000 km warranty. See full specifications here.
