Default new Fiesta GT-R... what is it?

defo not the ST, but Fords of Old Trafford have got a Fiesta GT-R in, with two white stripes similar to the Fiesta ST, but it doesnt have the ST logo on the side and it has a different set of wheels too.

I know Ford were doing 4 sporting fiestas: ST, WRC, Firefly and summat else (dont think it was the GT... was it?) but cant find any info about it on the Ford site and wondering if its more sportier than the ST or less as my missus could be interested in one! Done a search on this site but cant find anything...

alot of ford dealers dont like doing them as they tend to be a waste of money as, with any modifications, u dont tend to get the money back... they look okay tho i guess... but i'm a girl...
