I remember the Popular Science article on that Fiesta, and I also remember that it used special pistons and combustion chamber shape, probably also a special camshaft. I think the idea with the combustion chamber was something like the May Fireball head. The water injection wasn't the only secret, but it was part of the picture.

I've always wondered what happened with that idea.

Mind you, the Mk1 Fiesta was a light car, which also helps.

I've probably got that issue of Popular Science somewhere, but finding it at this point would be quite the accomplishment ...
