Barracuda meets Schropp Tuning: Ford Fiesta ST on Summa Wheels

The team from Mössingen, best known primarily as Mustang specialists, fitted the ST with Summa wheels from Barracuda’s Ultralight Series. Thanks to the flow-forming process, the wheels, finished in bronze in this case, are exceptionally lightweight. In the chosen size of 7.5×18 inches, each wheel tips the scales at only about 8.4 kilograms. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires measure 205/40ZR18.

By the way: for those seeking an even lighter setup, the Summa is also available in a 7.5×17-inch version, which weighs just around 7.2 kilograms.

An absolute must – both for the visual appeal and the driving dynamics of the upgraded Ford – was lowering the ride height. Schropp achieved this using lowering springs from Eibach.

Last but not least, the Fiesta received a performance boost through ECU tuning. This allows the 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbo engine to propel the ST even more powerfully and confidently, now producing 230 hp / 370 Nm instead of the standard 200 hp / 320 Nm.
