This new robotic technology could be a big help to assembly workers and offer more design freedom.

If Ford is really prepping a next-generation Fiesta ST, its first prototypes is as low-key as possible.

The aging Ford Fiesta ST takes on the latest Renault Clio RS 220 Trophy and the upscale Mini JCW in a hot-hatch grudge match in the latest video from Carfection.

Ken Block's Gymkhana 8 goes to Dubai to drift around the city's supercar police fleet and drag race against a quartet of supercars, including a Veyron.

The slightly more stylish Ford Fiesta ST200 debuts at the Geneva Motor Show with 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque, but it remains forbidden fruit in the US for now.

Ken Block's Ford Fiesta HFHV rally car from the Gymkhana series is now for sale, and it's immediately ready to slide around some stages. The price might be too steep for some buyers, though.

Ford officials say that there are no plans to produce a Fiesta RS, despite earlier rumors and spy shots.

This season Ken Block will be contesting the FIA World Rallycross Championship from start to finish with Hoonigan Racing Division and full factory support from Ford.

The new model would arrive in 2017 for the Fiesta's 40th anniversary and would pack a 250-hp version of the Fiesta ST's 1.6-liter, turbocharged four.

Ford has been spotted testing a modified version of its littlest hatchback alongside the new Focus RS that could foreshadow the arrival of a new Fiesta RS pocket rocket from the Blue Oval.

The SCCA has apparently found the Ford Fiesta at risk of rollover, and has, as a result, removed the budget hatchback from its list of eligible vehicles for solo autocross events in the H Stock category.

The gift list for the 12 Days of Christmas is frightfully heavy on birds, so surely no one will mind if we sub out the three French hens for Snowkhana 3. Ford of Europe is back with another stop-motion video that – like versions one and two – throws

As the old saying goes, "There's no replacement for displacement." But these days, many automakers are launching powerful, downsized engines that offer similar or better power output than their predecessors, all while offering improvements in fuel economy and emissions. These days, we're seeing automakers replacing eight-cylinder engines with turbocharged sixes, and the naturally aspirated six-cylinder motors are being phased out in favor of potent turbo fours. But Ford has gone even smaller, of

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.

We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Noah Joseph

Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't b

I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved – particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once agai

Rallycross is seeing a sudden surge in popularity with two series bringing the racing to the US and Europe. The Ford OMSE team is competing in both championships this season, and it saw no reason not to hold practice with a highly modified Fiesta in the snow of Northern Sweden. It brought together Andreas Bakkerud from the European-focused Chris Bruce

The V8 grunt of the Mustang has defined Ford performance cars in the US for the last 50 years, but in Europe, the Blue Oval has nearly as a long history of building some of the best hot hatches on the market with the Fiesta, Escort and later the F

Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to m
