Speed freaks look no further - tuning specialist Mountune has added even more upgrades to the Ford Fiesta ST.
Mountune's latest MR230 setup adds even more horsepower, bringing the total up to 227bhp.
These upgrades cost £2,295 and take around seven hours to fit at a Mountune or Ford 'PRO' dealership.
The upgraded Fiesta ST sprints from 0-62mph in just 5.9 seconds.
The six-speed manual gearbox is unchanged from the standard ST.
The ST is one of the most usable everyday hot hatches around, and the Mountune upgrades don't change that.
A respectable 280-litre boot makes this car eminently practical.
The Mountune springs make turn-in almost impossibly sharp.
We'd stick to the standard suspension set-up to avoid the car being unbearably firm.
The only real problem with the Moutune upgrades to the Ford Fiesta ST is the cost - and invalidation of the Ford warranty.
