Ford KA Ford KA

For many years the Ford KA has been the bestselling car in its class in the United Kingdom, which commands around a fifth of the city car market.
In 2003 the Ford Ka brand was diversified, with the addition of a new SportKa and StreetKa (convertible version)featuring a sporty body kit, wider track with stiffened suspension and redesigned 16" alloy wheels. In 2005 all Ka models received a slightly updated interior, bringing the cabin back up to date while still retaining the look and feel of the original.
In 1998 Ford KA created a rally championship which proved to be one of the most popular junior rally championships (Ford Ka Rally Cup) in Britain. In 2007 Luke Pinder won the BRC Silverstone Tyre 1400 Championship in a Chris Birkbeck Ford KA.
The new Ford Ka is available in two engines:
1.2 litre petrol with 69 PS (51 kW) of power and 102 N·m (75 ft·lbf) of torque
1.3 litre TDCi diesel engine with 75 PS (55 kW; 74 hp) of power and 145 N·m (107 lb·ft) of torque
In early January 2008 the Ford Ka was officially discontinued in Mexico when it was announced that the new Brazilian Ka would not be offered in the Mexican market.
The new Ford Ka has received an overall Euro NCAP 4 stars rating for safety. The Ford KA has standard driver and passenger single stage front airbags, ABS, immobiliser, hazard warning lights and remote central locking.
