Si 16v
The Si 16v was introduced in 1994 as an insurance friendly yet sporty Fiesta, a kind of successor to the CHV 1.6 S and SX models. The XR2i and RS 1800 in groups 14 and 15 respectively were becoming severely hampered by increasing premiums that would eventually lead to both cars being discontinued within two years. The Si was powered by the 1.6 version of the Zetec that appeared in the 16v XR2i. This unit, rated at 90bhp, managed to get the car to 60 in just over 10 seconds yet still keep the car in group 8. From the outside the car looked quite different to any previous MK3 Fiesta. Both the front and rear bumpers were of a new smoother design, without the swage lines and coloured stripes of previous models. The front bumper had two 10cm round fog lights and a moulded grille. The Si shared the same black hatch spoiler as the XR2i, with the option of a larger spoiler that fitted on the tailgate, just above the rear clusters. This spoiler was offered with or without an integral brake light. The front arches had small plastic extensions, similar in design to the S2 Escort RS Turbo, but without the side skirts. The rear arches were left as standard. Factory issue on the Si were 14" steel rims with plastic trims of a design first seen on the MK5 escort. Alloys were an option at extra cost, and these are the same as the 16v XR2i. The interior on the Si is regarded by many Fiesta fans as Ford's best. It has the same black dashboard and trim parts, with the new "Jigsaw Raven" pattern and the same winged seats as the XR2i.
