The partnership between Ford->ke31 Racing, Tanner Foust, and COBB Tuning has been churning along for years now and as part of their collaboration, special-edition models are always an expected treat.
Earlier this year, Foust, Ford Racing and COBB Tuning worked on a special-edition Focus, one that we lauded for its unique exterior detail, new carbon-fiber add ons, a new custom grille, fancy race graphics, a wheel and tire program, an a noticeable performance upgrade.
At the 2013 SEMA Auto Show->ke216, all three are back to working again, only this time, the choice vehicle is the 2014 Ford Fiesta ST.
Just like the special-edition Focus from earlier this year, the SEMA-bound Fiesta ST that Foust, COBB Tuning, and Ford Racing worked on is a definite treat to the eyes. The digital camouflage wrap already on this military-inspired Fiesta ST jumps out of the picture.
There's also a new carbon-fiber hood that matches the overall body makeup of the sports hatch. Racing decals are also prevalent, including the vehicle's apparent tie-up with the Pat Tillman Foundation.
The model also has an upgraded interior and performance modifications that include, among other things, a cold air intake and a sports exhaust system.
More details, like the performance specs, are expected to be unveiled regarding this COBB Tuning/Tanner Foust-tuned Ford Fiesta ST.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST
The Ford Fiesta ST is every bit as awesome as its reputation in the auto industry. Despite being a compact hatchback, this sports car is all loads of fun, delivering charming good looks to go with a particularly impressive 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine that delivers 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque.
There’s a reason why the Fiesta ST has had a presence in aftermarket shows and a following in the racing scene since its debut. The car may not look like a world beater, but it sure as heck performs like one relative to its competitors.
