None yet. I'm actually surprised it's actually on the cards for local introduction as the all-new 7th Gen is a few months away.
I think Ford Europe was a bit off on the timing of this ST200. It should have been introduced at least a full year before the Mk7 range comes out.

LIMITED EDITION FORD FIESTA ST200 BLASTS INTO SA!
Ford South Africa has announced that a total of 160 units of the special edition ST200 have been set aside for the local market, despite the fact that the next-generation model is on the horizon.
The price? Some R339 900, which is R14 000 more than that standard Fiesta ST. Here’s what you get for the extra cash…
As with the standard ST, the Fiesta ST200 employs a 1,6-litre EcoBoost petrol engine. But in ST200 guise the peak power output has been raised from 134 kW to 149 kW. Maximum torque, meanwhile, climbs from 240 N.m to 290 N.m.
Ford says a further 11 kW and 30 N.m are available for up to 20 seconds thanks to the engine’s overboost function. In addition, the six-speed manual transmission receives a shorter final drive ratio (reduced from 3,82 to 4,06).
According to Ford, the ST200 sprints from zero to 100 km/h in a 6,7 seconds (two-tenths quicker than the standard ST). Top speed is electronically limited to 230 km/h.
So, what else is different? Well, the suspension has been upgraded, and now includes a rear twistbeam with a claimed 27% more roll stiffness. The front anti-roll bar has been increased in diameter from 19 to 21 mm while the dampers have also been tweaked “for better impact absorption”. The power steering system has furthermore gained “revised settings”.
Locally, the ST200 will be available in “Storm Grey” metallic only, with a set of black 17-inch five-spoke alloys framing red brake callipers. LED taillamps and ST200 badging (inside and out) also help to set this model apart from the standard ST.
Inside, the ST200 boasts Recaro heated sport seats with partial leather, as well as dual-tone seatbelts, illuminated scuff plates and privacy glass for the rear windows. Rear parking sensors and a reversing camera are also included in the package.
The ST200 features a four-year or 120 000 km warranty and a four-year or 60 000km service plan (with intervals of 15 000 km).

Ford SA Releases Hotter Fiesta ST
Ford South Africa has announced a faster and more powerful version of its Fiesta ST hot hatchback that's now available in South Africa! However, it is a limited edition, so you're going to have to move fast if you want one.
The Ford Fiesta ST has been a runaway success for the Blue Oval. It combines respectable performance with wonderful driver feedback, resulting in a vehicle that delivers thrills at a reasonable price. Now, Ford SA has confirmed that 160 units of the new Ford Fiesta ST200 will be offered in our market. It will go up against the newly-refreshed Renault Clio RS and the popular Volkswagen Polo GTI.
More Power and Performance
Power from the 1.6-litre turbocharged motor has been increased and it now sits at 149 kW and 290 Nm. The standard car delivered 134 kW and 240 Nm. These power upgrades mean that zero to 100 kph will take 6.7 seconds and with overboost, you get an additional 11 kW and 30 Nm for 11 seconds. This makes the Ford Fiesta ST200 one of the most powerful hatchbacks in its class. Under the skin, the gearbox features a revised, shorter final drive ratio and there's an uprated suspension too. Also, the steering has been sharpened for better feedback and control.
Visual Changes
The Ford Fiesta ST200 features a unique ‘Storm Grey’ metallic finish as well as matte black 17-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels with red brake callipers. There are rear LED taillights as well as subtle ST200 badges around the vehicle.
The interior features Recaro heated sports seats with partial leather, dual-tone seatbelts, illuminated scuff plates and privacy glass for the rear windows. Reverse parking sensors with an integrated reverse camera are also included. The specification remains fair with SYNC infotainment, Bluetooth and Voice Control, Ford MyKey, remote central locking with keyless entry and start, climate control, as well as seven airbags including a driver’s knee airbag.
Ford Fiesta ST200 Price in South Africa (May 2017)
Ford Fiesta ST200 - R339 900 (including VAT).
The vehicle comes with a standard Ford Protect 4-year/120 000 km warranty, 4-year/60 000 km service plan, 5-year unlimited distance corrosion warranty and 3-year unlimited distance Ford Roadside Assistance. Service intervals are every 15 000km.

149kW Ford Fiesta ST200 files into SA
Pity that it’s taken so long for the Ford Fiesta ST200 to reach South Africa (insert dumping allegations here if you have to) but, in any case, it’s now here if you want one, only 160 are available and taking one home will cost you R339 900. That's R14 000 more than the normal ST.
What you get for that is more power, a few styling enhancements and a modified chassis.
Whereas the normal ST’s 1.6-litre EcoBoost turbopetrol engine pushes out 134kW and 240Nm, the ST200’s beefed up version is good for 149kW and 290Nm. That’ll get you from 0-100km/h in 6.7 seconds, according to Ford, 0.2 seconds quicker than the aforementioned standard ST. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox with a shortened final drive ratio.
Ford has already revealed an all-new Fiesta ST overseas, powered by an engine that’s astoundingly powerful for its size – a 147kW/290Nm version of the one-litre, three-cylinder EcoBoost. So if the engine size doesn’t put you off, you might just want to wait for the new one, although Ford SA has yet to confirm when it’ll reach our shores.
Back to the current ST200, then, the engine mods are complemented by an upgraded suspension, which includes a rear twist beam with 27 percent more roll stiffness, a slightly larger anti-roll bar up front and the shocks have been upgraded for better impact absorption.
You’ll be able to tell the ST200 apart by its matt black 17-inch alloy wheels, LED taillights, ST200 badges and the unique ‘Storm Grey’ metallic paint, which is the only colour available.
Greeting you inside is a pair of heated Recaro bucket seats (with partial leather), dual-tone seat belts and illuminated scuff plates. Standard amenities include keyless start, automatic climate control, Sync with Voice Control and MyKey, rear parking sensors and a reverse camera.

Didn't production end on the ST last year? Which makes the ST200 sort of a stopgap...
Maybe not 100% sensible, but strikes me as typical SA corporate stratergery.

Production ended last year yes. The ST200 is pretty much dumped stock brought in by Ford SA; good car though & not a hefty premium over the normal version.
Dumped or not, they're worth it over the v7 on aesthetics alone. Not a big fan of the new design cues... front end brings to mind a bulkier Nissan Leaf. And as you say, it's a good deal on its merits.

V7 for me from the front looks ok but the rear looks like an afterthought; almost MPV-like.
It actually looks okay on the crossover concept they had; assuming we get the full range, that bit of extra detailing might make all the difference. But yes, the flat lights do detract from the charm - the current chunky wraparounds do a lot to distinguish the current design.
