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.
