Tuning company Mountune is offering a performance upgrade kit for the C346 Ford Focus ST – the kit however is only available in the UK. Once fitted, it will boost the Focus ST’s figures from 250 hp to 275 hp while torque will be upped from 345 Nm to 400 Nm at 2,750 rpm.
Among the items the upgrade kit comprises of include a large alloy intercooler, a low-loss cast crossover duct and silicone hose, a high-flow dual entry air filter and a new engine mapping that has been calibrated to a more performance-driven one, to help that 2.0 litre EcoBoost turbocharged engine make haste.
No mention of how fast the Focus ST does the century sprint, however Ford Britain sales director Kevin Griffin says, “it enables Focus ST owners to experience even more impressive performance, while offering the reassurance that the upgrade will not affect warranties,” he assured.
Griffin adds, “the 2015 Focus ST 275 hp upgrade is the latest addition to a wide range of Ford Performance parts and accessories from Ford dealers.” The Mountune kit takes a total of two hours to be fitted and is priced at £1,195 (RM7,920).
On a similar note, the smaller Fiesta ST hot-hatch was also subjected to the same Mountune upgrade previously. In total, the Fiesta ST with its 1.6 litre EcoBoost engine saw a power hike from 182 hp / 240 Nm to 200 hp / 290 Nm of torque.
