The Mountune Performance Stage 1 package will retail at £1,435 (plus fitting) and consists of a high-flow air induction system, a high performance exhaust system including high flow catalyst and tubular manifold, and re-calibration of Ford’s potent 2.0-litre Duratec ST engine to produce 165PS.

The upgrade kits do not affect the vehicle warranty and will be available from the selected Ford Dealers from March 1st 2008.

Editors’ note:
The Fiesta ST performance road car was unveiled at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show and was the first of Ford’s model to carry the ‘Sports Technologies’ badge which is now used on all the brand’s performance models.

Standard features include colour-keyed details such as door handles, rubbing strips, exterior mirror caps and 17-inch alloy wheels.

In addition to the two Mountune Performance upgrades there will also be a KW suspension upgrade kit, optimised at the Nurburgring, at a retail price of £605 (plus fitting) for Fiesta ST and Recaro seats in black Ambler leather with black Dinamica suede for £1,950.69 (plus fitting) also through specialist Ford dealers.

Further Mountune Performance packages will be available for other models in the Ford range later in 2008.

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
(Further dealers will be added to this list during 2008)
