It’s no secret that Oddimotive loves the Chevy Sprint Turbo. When we started two years ago, these were throwbacks to CAFE regulations. Today, there is a modern equivalent, the Ford Fiesta Ecoboost, also sporting a turbocharged three-cylinder engine and which is fun to drive in a sick and twisted sort of way.
This car has some mods, including boost controller allowing fifteen pounds of boost, upgraded intercooler and blow-off valve and a three-inch exhaust. We’d love to see what it does on a dyno, but would think about mellowing out the exhaust a bit, assuming it sounds a flatulent as we imagine it does.
The real downside here is the price – $7,500 is simply insane for a Sprint Turbo, especially one that might not pass CA emissions and with unspecified mileage!

Classic shitbox styling is tarted up with a monochrome treatment, modest ground effects and graphics. This seems to be missing a center cap, too…
The body looks straight enough.
Front end features a small inlet where the original intercooler was mounted.
Boost gauge is an add-on. Sadly, this is the only interior shot, unless you count peering through the windows in the first two pics.
