Remember the Ford Focus RS? Of course you do. We gave it our coveted Car of The Year award in 2015 for being generally excellent. And while the hot hatch game has moved on somewhat since then, it"s still and will always be an almighty thing. From the factory the MK3 RS had a 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine with 345bhp and 347lb ft. It was not slow, managing 165mph and 0-62mph in 4.7 seconds. Nonetheless, it wasn"t long before Mountune upped that to 370bhp and 376lb ft with the warranty-friendly, 899 FPM375" package. But now it"s gone one step further, with the new M400R and M400X packages. These kits give 400bhp and 413lb ft, plus a load of other features. Said features include "an adjustable RPM limit, full-time launch control, adjustable launch set-point, full-throttle gear change, tailored valet and anti-theft modes, dyno mode, and full access to all OBD channels for custom gauges and data-logging".
