Ford ecomodded the regular Fiesta with the addition of an efficient, small (89 hp) diesel, plus the usual round of tweaks most of us are getting
used to seeing on "eco" models of regular production cars:
- LRR tires

- aeromods: lowered ride height, air deflectors, smooth wheel covers
- weight reduction (no spare)
- shift indicator
