  Ford Ka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ford Ka (pronounced "Ka", "car", or "K.A.") is a city car from the Ford Motor Company marketed in Europe and elsewhere.
Both Streetka and Sportka recieved a new 1.6 L 8-valve Duratec engine producing 95 hp whereas Ka, Ka Collection and LuxuryKa retained the 1.3 Endura E engine.
The StreetKa is sometimes dubbed as "the poor man's Audi TT" due to its resemblance to that car.

Ford sponsored Kylie Minogue's 39-date European tour, and the resulting photo opportunities of the small-but-perfectly-formed songstress with the Streetka must have been worth every penny spent on the deal.
The Streetka's front suspension shares the same layout as the Ka hatchback, with independent MacPherson struts and L arms, but with a new structural crossmember and springs that are 12.5 percent stiffer than those of the standard Ka.
The Streetka's rear track is 35mm wider than that of the front, for improved core stability, and its rear twist-beam axle is 14.6 percent thicker than that of the standard Ka.

 Ford Streetka Dress   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Ford's designers and Bruce Oldfield have created a vision of beauty in the shape of a stunning Streetka dress.
Made from 85 parts from a special pink Ford Streetka, the dress, valued at £15,000, will be auctioned during London Fashion Week to raise money for Barnados.
The choker is the car's gem-like clock: the hat was made from parcel shelf material and cable-ties, and the see-through skirt from mesh used on the front grille, decorated with colourful electrical cables normally found under the Streetka's dashboard.

 CARkeys - Ford Streetka Hardtop
The Streetka is, in standard form, a very appealing little device (see road test), but during its first year of existence there was no hardtop version.
The exception is that most Streetkas have a button which raises the cover of the compartment where the soft roof is kept.
That doesn't happen with the Streetka - the moderate amount of scuttle shake is the same whether the hardtop is on or off, and there's a certain amount of creaking and rattling as the area in which the hardtop sits changes shape very slightly over bumps.

Ford has widened the front track by 22mm and the rear goes 35mm wider than that.

 BBC NEWS | Business | A StreetKa named desire?
Ford's intense use of Car Focus Groups has produced the less than innovative names Ka and Focus, though not, as yet, Group.
The "StreetKa" was launched at the Paris Motor Show, by the singer Kylie Minogue in a ceremony which marked her first visit to a car show.
But whereas analysts generally understand Ford's need to slash costs due to its massive pension liabilities, high marketing costs and a tough competitive environment, particularly in the US, they are also concerned about Ford's ageing models.

Ford achieved such a coup with their new Streetka but it wasn't their only coup for the car itself is a triumph too.
True to the original Ka design that was launched six years the Streetka benefits, as does the rest of the range, from a new and sharper line-up of both engines and trim.
Although the Ka may be a predominantly 'female' car I suspect Streetka will attract quite a few young male drivers who look at what their £12K will buy them and find the lure of a two-seater soft-top at this price hard to resist.

 CARkeys - Ford Streetka
For me, the Ford Ka is very similar to the first-generation smart city car in that I understand their wide appeal but would not personally like to own either of them.
Fingers may be pointed here, since the Streetka is considered, not least by Ford itself, as a car for the ladies, of which I am not one.
The Streetka looks fine from the front, snazzy from the rear (ah, that central reversing light!) and a camel designed by a committee from either side.

But before Ford could build it, the company needed to find a new engine hat would fit under the Ka’s low snub nose.

So Ford has taken a great little car with a lousy engine and turned it into a fine three-model range with decent engines.

The standard Ford Streetka is stylish yet timid; nearly too cute to impose itself on our crowded roads.
The car is exactly the same shocking hue as the gargantuan Ford Thunderbird-based Fab 1, which replaced Lady P's trademark pink Rolls-Royce after the BMW-owned firm opted not to get involved in the puppet show's transition to the silver screen.
Its pink paint has a chrome finish, which is hard to detect in photographs, but deliberately reflects light away from the angle you view the Ford so as not to cause too much of a glare on camera.
