The Mustang 2.3L High Performance Package

Ford has introduced the 2.3L High Performance Package. As that name suggests, it’s an optional upgrade for the entry-level Mustang EcoBoost coupé and convertible.

Taking the 2.3 litre four-cylinder Focus RS engine as a starting point, modifications include a larger twin-scroll turbocharger and a bigger radiator. Projected output is 330 bhp (246 kW / 334 PS) with 474 Nm (350 lb/ft) of torque, which can be delivered via either a six-speed manual gearbox or a ten-speed automatic transmission.

The expected results are a mid-four-second 0-60 mph (96 km/h) time and a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).

To complement the extra pace, the 2.3L High Performance Package incorporates numerous chassis enhancements. The steering, stability control and drive modes have all been recalibrated, for instance. Also fitted are the more capable 13.9” front brake discs and four-piston fixed calipers from the Mustang GT, unique 19” wheels, a limited-slip rear axle and a front-mounted alloy strut brace.

A front splitter, a black grille, a rear spoiler and some special badges are part of the specification, too.

The Mustang EcoBoost 2.3L High Performance Package will be launched in North America this autumn. Coupé customers who purchase it can then order the EcoBoost Handling Package that consists of wider wheels shod with Pirelli P Zero Corsa4 summer tyres, a Torsen 3.55:1 rear axle, a thicker rear anti-roll bar, retuned MagneRide dampers and semi-metallic brakes.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. 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
