Ford #focusrs customers can now further enhance the award-winning performance of the acclaimed high-performance hatchback with the official #ford Performance by Mountune power upgrade package.
Co-developed by #ford Performance and race engine and road car performance specialist Mountune, the approved upgrade boosts peak power from the specially engineered #ford 2.3‑litre EcoBoost engine by 25 PS to 375 PS and peak torque by 40 Nm to 510 Nm using overboost.*
Equipped with the #ford Performance by Mountune power upgrade that is available in selected European markets and priced £899 for customers in the U.K., the #ford #focusrs achieves improved 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in 4.5 seconds – faster than a Porsche 911 Carrera with manual transmission costing more than double the #focusrs list price. Top speed remains 266 km/h (165 mph).
“Ford has a proud history of working with Mountune to unleash even more power from our hot hatchbacks for dedicated performance enthusiasts,” said Tyrone Johnson, vehicle engineering manager, #ford Performance. “Boosting power to 375 PS launches the already class-leading #focusrs even further ahead of the field.”
The #ford Performance by Mountune kit for #focusrs includes a high-performance air filter, bespoke alloy crossover duct with high-performance silicone hoses, an upgraded air re-circulation valve and revised software tuning for the engine ECU.
Any Mountune-appointed #ford dealer will be able to fit the upgrade in 1.5 hours and it is fully compatible with the #ford warranty, meaning #ford Performance by Mountune #focusrs vehicles continue to be covered against mechanical failure – for example for three years or 60,000 miles in the U.K. from the original date of purchase.
Ford has received more than 8,200 orders for the #focusrs since last September. The high-performance hatchback pioneers innovative Ford Performance All Wheel Drive with Dynamic Torque Vectoring for a new level of handling, grip and cornering speed. Selectable Drive Modes – including an industry-first Drift Mode that allows controlled oversteer drifts – and Launch Control feature on the RS model for the first time.
The #focusrs has received numerous awards and accolades, including:
Developed by #ford Performance engineers in Europe and the U.S., the #focusrs delivers 350 PS and 4.7 second 0-100 km/h (0‑62 mph) acceleration in standard form.
