While the 2009 Ford Ka isn’t scheduled to make its official debut until October at the Paris Motor Show, what appears to be an official image of the subcompact has already made its way onto the internet, and more importantly Zoopedup.
Co-developed with Fiat and riding on the same architecture as the funky retro-style Fiat 500, the styling of the Ford Ka is unique and will follow Ford’s newest design language. It also draws many of its styling cues from its bigger brother, the Fiesta.
The 2009 Ford Ka will share the Fiat 500’s range of petrol and diesel engines which starts from 1.2-litres. Rumours that a performance-oriented 1.4-litre Ka ST will be offered as a future variant, with the possibility of a range topping RS model also being discussed.
Could we potentially see the 150hp 2.0l Duratec motor from the current Fiesta ST in the Ka RS? Time will tell and we certainly hope so.
