TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
	Bodyshell The car benefits from a multipoint roll cage, designed to be HANS® compatible as required from January 2007. The design complies with Appendix J of the FIA International Regulations. It includes 3 x 'X'brace in the rear of the car including above the passengers heads and 'twin tube' door bars with no cross-over. The cage can be bolted or welded to the chassis and does not require the dashboard to be modified, further aiding the installation process. Brakes The standard ST front and rear disc brakes are retained. The pipes in the braking system are replaced by braided steel hoses and an adjustable pressure-reducing valve is fitted to the system while still retaining the dual circuit diagonal braking required to comply with Gp.N regulations. The brake pad compounds have been optimised for rallying.
	Engine The basic engine remains standard with the only additions being a revised 'foam' air filter and a stainless steel exhaust system including a motorsport specification catalytic converter. The engine ECU has been modified to revise the fuel and air ratio and optimise the ignition. Modifications have been made to the 'pedal map' for the electronic 'fly-by-wire' throttle which improves throttle response and engine torque in the lower gears. Transmission The car has a 5-speed 'dog' engagement gearkit fitted to a standard ST casing. The gearbox design and ratios have been developed in conjunction with SADEV. The transmission is supplied as an exchange item ready to fit into the car, with the customer to return their std. ST gearbox in a serviceable condition. The STGp.N features uprated driveshafts as standard.
	Suspension Using the uprated suspension of the std. ST as a basis, which includes revised front suspension knuckles for additional negative camber and a strengthened twist beam rear axle, M-Sport engineers have added Reiger dampers which are adjustable for rebound and revised spring rates to improve the ride over rough surfaces found on stages. In addition the steering rack on the standard ST Gp.N has a quicker ratio than the standard Fiesta to give improved turn-in. Interior The majority of the trim as authorised under Gp.N has been removed from the car to reduce the weight and allow the fitment of the safety features required in a rally car designed to compete in any region. The seats have been replaced with Recaro competition versions made from composite materials. To these have been added Sabelt 6pt harnesses, a Sabelt suede steering wheel plus an integrated fire extinguisher system with electronic control
