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.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
