You may be thinking this can’t be a real, and this is obviously a joke—it’s not. The Fiesta is Ford’s fuel-efficient, customizable, and exciting new daily-driver. The Lamborghini is the pinnacle of Italian automotive design, made for fast sprints, sharp corners, and simply being all-around impressive. So why are the two cars being compared, let alone racing in this video?
When you see the Fiesta and Lamborghini go at it in a flat-out drag-race, you should not be surprised. But the video might throw you for a curve when you see how each car handles a course with some sharp turns and cone-dodging maneuvers.
If you are still in disbelief, we are ready to make you a believer at Charles Gabus Ford. Jump in the new Ford Fiesta and see for yourself what this car can do. Contact us at (515) 270-0707 for more information.

The 2012 Ford Fiesta is more than just a fuel-efficient car—it’s a fun and customizable adventure. You can find the new Fiesta in either a Sedan or Hatchback body style with three different trim levels available. No matter what you’re looking for, there is a Fiesta that was made just for you.
Fiesta S
The S trim Fiesta features the 1.6-liter DuraTec four-cylinder engine that gives every Fiesta its competitive fuel economy. The Ford-tuned suspension and light weight of the Fiesta make it agile and fun to drive, while the electronic power-assisted steering and AdvanceTrac stability control add to the mix. With the four-speaker sound system and auxiliary audio jack, driving the Fiesta S becomes a truly enjoyable experience.
Fiesta SE
You’ll instantly notice the electronic message center nestled between the tachometer and speedometer on the Fiesta SE. This helpful display displays readings for the outside temperature, odometer, and other metrics. With the multi-function display screen above the CD player, you’ll stay informed and on track. Ford also decided to stay on the environmental track by using soy-based material and recycled yarn in all nine colors of unique cloth seat choices.
Fiesta SEL/SES
Find yourself absorbed in the ride as you grip the leather-wrapped steering wheel with built-in audio and cruise controls. Command your Fiesta with voice activation technology, a six-speaker stereo system, and satellite radio. The optional push-start button, power moon-roof, and PowerShift six-speed automatic transmission complete this car. The Fiesta SEL Sedan and SES Hatchback allow you to save money and the environment, while riding in luxury and style.

Ford is known for being tough, and has stayed strong through innovation and a never-ending commitment to improvement. The new EcoBoost engine is another brilliant step forward for the ever-evolving automaker. Learn how this new engine design is helping you save money while staying environmentally conscious.
Power
Ford wanted to create an engine that had the power of a V8 but the efficiency of a V6—thus the EcoBoost V6 engine was born. Created specifically for use in the Ford F-150, the 365-horsepower, 420 lb.-ft. of torque V6 engine is able to tow up to 11,300 lbs. of cargo. This gave the new F-150 best-in-class towing and payload capacity. And all of this was achieved alongside a better fuel economy rating.
Efficiency
The EcoBoost family of engines has achieved up to 20% increased fuel economy and up to 15% decreased CO2 emissions over previous engine models. It feels good to be able to save money while knowing that you are saving the environment at the same time. Now you can confidently conquer any road in a powerful Ford pickup without breaking the bank on fuel costs.
Technology
All this improvement in power and efficiency came from extensive research and engineering. One huge factor in making these improvements was the use of turbochargers, and another was the implementation of a direct-injection fuel system. These two components work perfectly together and set the stage for a number of super-efficient EcoBoost engines.
If you’ve never felt what it’s like to drive a turbocharged vehicle, then head over to Charles Gabus Ford today. From the powerful new F-150 to the stylish new Fusion, there’s a new EcoBoost-powered Ford vehicle that suits you and your lifestyle.
