That is awesome man. Cool to see something that we can actually relate to, as far as the finished product anyway.

That's a nice video. Well, the 86 seconds might be the speed of the final assembly line (it is a bit misleading with the paint shop and weld shop) but it would be interesting to know the total time it takes to complete a fiesta from the painted body in white (shell) to the instant it drives away from the line - the final assembly throughput time.

And a related question, are the Mexicans faster than the Germans?

Do my eyes deceive me or was that fiesta at 1:42 a molten orange titanium edition?

That is what it would appear to be. Unless the light is just deceiving us. Possible that its an option elsewhere.

Considering it is South America... Very possible,

Because these arent ST's. There are only 2500 or so St's made a year.

Hi there. I'm a worker of Ford Germany but not in the production of the Fiesta. But I know some things. I have had the chance to walk next to my ST while it was assembled. From the moment it comes from the paint shop till finish line it last 6 hours

It looks so because of the lights. Molten Orange, here in Germany it is named Lava-Rot, is only available for the Fiesta ST.
The colour of the Fiesta at 1:42 is Race-Red.

Because these arent ST's. There are only 2500 or so St's made a year.

You're wrong. At the Moment every day there are 60-70 ST's that were build per day.
Here in Europe is such a run for the ST that Ford couldn't know. So there will be more ST's than your 2500 will be build a year.
