Takis Soldatos’ Ford Fiesta ST Mk8 was built by Olsbergs MSE<\/a> in Sweden for hill climb or time attack. The race car is powered by a turbocharged 2.3 L Duratec inline-four built by Mountune<\/a>. The motor is capable of 850+ hp (625+ kW) and installed in a longitudinal layout. That power is sent to all four wheels through a Sadev sequential transmission and Sadev front and rear differentials. Olsbergs MSE upgraded the car with a custom suspension using \u00d6hlins coilovers and Alcon brakes with carbon ceramic rotors. HillClimb Monsters<\/a> reports the last time Takis raced the Fiesta was Kimi HillClimb 2021 in Greece. The car is for sale<\/a> located at Olsbergs MSE in Sweden. <\/p>\n
