Mountune introduces the Fiesta MR265

With the next-generation Ford Fiesta due to be launched soon, Mountune's new MR265 conversion provides a proper last hurrah for the current model.

Based on the ST variant, its main components are a better turbocharger, a larger intercooler and a high-flow induction kit. Also included in the package are various hoses, replacement exhaust parts, a camshaft timing tool and the mTune calibration handset.

As the MR265 name suggests, output from the 1.6 litre EcoBoost engine is increased to an impressive 261 bhp (195 kW / 265 PS). Similarly, peak torque rises to 370 Nm (273 lb/ft) and one benefit is a 0-60 mph (96 km/h) time of just 5.7 seconds.

The price (including VAT but excluding fitting) is £4,500. Thanks to Mountune's modular approach, Fiesta ST owners who have previously had the MP215, MT215 or MR230 modifications installed can upgrade to MR265 specification for a reduced cost.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
