Offered through selected Ford dealers in the UK, the Mountune kit for the 1.6-litre versions of the new Fiesta Zetec-S and Titanium models includes mechanical as well as cosmetic upgrades. The engine kit that costs £1,299 (plus fitting) consists of a high-flow air induction system, a high performance exhaust including high-flow catalyst and tubular manifold, and re-calibration of Ford's 1.6-litre Duratec Ti-VCT.
