Default Mountune Performance for the New Fiesta!

Mountune Performance in partnership with Ford RS Division in the UK have just released a performance upgrade package for the new Fiesta.

Brings the 1.6L engine up to 140 hp and 170 Nm of torque

Takes a full 2 seconds off the 0-100km/h time ... from 9.9 for the standard engine to 7.7 for the Mountune.

Full Story here ..

http://www.mountuneperformance.com/i...39:latest-news

Our friends in South Africa have a thread about it here ...

Love the look, it's almost Brawn GP colours.

The side skirts are standard on the 3 door Zetec, just not the 5 door.

Yep I’m pretty much sold on that. Interesting to read that its covered under ford warranty. Good to see they took a page out of Mini's book.

I've seen the Mountune stuff before for the WQ ST/XR4. It'd be great to see someone like a FPV or Herrod dealer pick this package up, it'd almost tempt me into a WS.

If herrod picked it up i woudnt buy it. It would cost more than the car itself.

Lets just settle for a group buy and bring it in privately. Everyone is a winner.

tempted to send them an email and find how much the power pack would cost to ship and then find out if ford aus would let u keep the new car warranty if you get the power pack put on
Edit: Hmm just saw it cost 1300 pounds without install over there.

Hmm.. I wonder whether this adds some extra torque at lower RPMs or just uniformly pushes the torque curve up...
