Ford Focus ST by Mountune Performance (UK)

Ford Focus ST by Mountune Performance

Warranty included

Ford UK is offering for the Focus ST a performance upgrade from Mountune Performance. Available from select Ford dealers (see press release below) for a price of £1,120 (plus installation), the kit consists of a larger intercooler, a high-flow air filter and revised engine calibration resulting in an increase in power output from Ford’s potent 2.5-litre Duratec ST engine from 225PS to 260PS at 5,500rpm and from 320Nm to 400Nm at 2,500rpm.

0-60mph improves by 0.6sec to 5.9sec, and the 0-100mph time by 1.9sec to 14.1sec. The performance upgrade kit includes 12 months/12,000-mile dealer warranty up to a maximum of three years/36,000 miles. The vehicle warranty is not affected.

Expect to hear more from Mountune Performance as they are currently developing a performance suspension kit for the Focus ST and further packages will be available for other Ford models later in 2008.

show/hide press release

Ford dealers offer Mountune Performance for Focus ST

Approved performance upgrades on new or used Focus ST models
2.5-litre Duratec ST engine can now be tuned to 260PS
Continued association with motorsport specialist Mountune
Prices from £1,120 plus fitting at specialist Ford dealers

Ford is offering Focus ST performance upgrades through a special dealer-fit option.

The Mountune Performance package will retail at £1,120 (plus fitting) and consists of a larger intercooler, a high-flow air filter and revised engine calibration. Together, this lifts power output from Ford’s potent 2.5-litre Duratec ST engine from 225PS to 260PS at 5,500rpm and from 320Nm to 400Nm at 2,500rpm.

The upgrade reduces the 0-60mph sprint by 0.6sec to 5.9sec, and the 0-100mph time by 1.9sec to 14.1sec.

The performance gain follows similar Mountune upgrades for the popular Fiesta ST which have been made available from Ford dealers earlier this year. Both have been verified on British B roads and over numerous laps of the famous Nurburgring circuit in Germany.

Developed by Mountune Performance in association with Ford Team RS, these packages will only be available at selected specialist Ford dealers' from Sept 2008. The upgrades carry a minimum of 12 months/12,000-mile dealer warranty up to a maximum of three years/36,000 miles. The upgrade kit does not affect the vehicle warranty.

Notes:
A complementary performance suspension kit is currently under development.

Further Mountune Performance packages will be available for other models in the Ford range later in 2008. These performance upgrades will not affect the vehicles excise duty classification, however customers will need to advise their insurers.

The first dealers to offer these upgrades will be:

Dagenham Motors, Woodford, London
Brunel Ford, Bristol
Heartlands Ford, Birmingham
Polar Ford, Warrington
Polar Ford, Castleford

As the network expands, new dealers will be added to the Mountune performance web site www.mountuneperformance.com

I think bright yellow, with mustang style stripes looks the best on this lil' Focus,and for the stripes would be cool black metallic or stealth, dark silver, or candy apple red :D

Cool, for a Factory modified Focus that's not a RS, that's really fast. And also really pricey, but still cheaper than what the RS would be.
