when talking of hatchbacks this will look an ordinary ford festiva (kia pride in pk) with a fancy body kit to you but be sure to read on the following to know what it really is...
As far as budget hatchbacks go, the Kia-built Ford Festiva was about as ordinary as they came. The perfect car, then, to turn into an exotic, and hot-rodders Chuck Beck and Rick Titus did exactly that. Replacing the standard four-banger, Beck and Titus took the Yamaha-developed 3-liter V6 from the Ford Taurus SHO and dropped it behind the front seats. The requisite chassis mods followed, and hilarity ensued. The car could hit 60 in 4.6 seconds, cover the quarter mile in 12.9 and reach 1g of lateral acceleration. Only seven examples were made, each of them in a different color. Jay Leno owns the silver one, and it just so happens that it's the car he drove to work the day he replaced Johnny Carson.
