Mountune is known for fettling fast Fords - many of its modifications are available through Ford"s dealers, and leave your car"s factory warranty intact - but times are changing. The Essex-based company has just partnered up with wheel company fifteen52 to offer the "same level of service, care and performance that Mountune"s Ford customers have enjoyed for more than a decade" to owners of VW Group cars, like the Golf GTI and R. Through a new company - m52" - Mountune and fifteen52 will start by offering induction and calibration packages for fast Golfs. A Stage 1" power upgrade for a MK7 Golf R costs 795 and increases power to 360bhp. Not a massive increase, you might think, but combined with a recalibrated DSG gearbox and better launch control, the 0-60mph time comes all the way down to just 3.7 seconds. Blimey.
