Renowned Ford tuner Mountune has released two upgrades for the new Puma ST crossover.
The M235 pack increases total power output by 35hp to 235hp. The second, called M260, takes power to (you guessed it…) 260hp.
The M235 kit consists of a Bluetooth dongle that plugs into the car’s OBD port and is activated via a smartphone. The M260 conversion is a little more involved, also requiring an air induction kit, charge pipe and intercooler.
Mountune says the app enables owners to select different power outputs on the move, depending on their preferences or the fuel quality used. The system also enables owners to update calibrations in future via the internet.
A history of fast Fords
The company – which has a long history of tweaking fast Fords – adds the upgrades have undergone a ‘rigorous testing and development process’ to deliver packages that ‘put the driver firmly in control whilst retaining an OEM [Original Equipment Manufacturer] feel’.
The packs include additional functionality, such as enhanced exhaust noise, more aggressive launch control, optimised no-lift shifting and an anti-theft mode. The M235 kit is priced from £575 and the M260 upgrade costs £675.
“The Puma ST has been well received since it was launched, and we have worked hard to improve the already impressive vehicle, taking its performance to the next level,” said David Mountain, founder of Mountune.
