福特周二通过其Instagram宣布将于将于本周四，也就是2月24日发布嘉年华ST掀背车。对于喜欢紧凑运动车的人来说，这是一个好消息。当福特去年晚些时候发布新一代嘉年华时，ST部门主管确认嘉年华ST正在开发之中，不过他当时表示，这款车或许要等到今年底才会发布。但现在车厂宣布，该车将马上发布。虽然目前对于该车细节还知之甚少，但预计新车将提供三门和五门版本。至于动力系统，预计将回归现行版的1.6升EcoBoost四缸引擎。这台引擎功率为197马力，而新一代ST的功率也将接近这一数值。这款车将于明年初投产，或许福特会提前投产该车。

 

Next-generation Ford Fiesta ST to debut this week

Ford will unveil the latest version of its Fiesta ST hot hatchback on February 24, the company announced via Instagram on Tuesday.

 

The announcement should come as good news to fans of the sport compact. When Ford unveiled the standard version of its new Fiesta in late 2016, the head of the automaker's ST division confirmed a new Fiesta ST was in the works, but said we might not see such a model until the end of 2017. But instead of several months, we'll only have to wait a few days to lay eyes on the next-generation Fiesta ST.

 

Little is known about the next-generation Fiesta ST, but it' expected to be offered in both three- and five-door configurations.

 

On the powertrain front, we're expecting a return of the current car's 1.6L EcoBoost four-cylinder. That mill produces 197 horsepower and the next version of the ST should stay close to that figure.
