Focus RS upgradable to RS500 Power

Many owners of the Focus RS always felt an extra 40 more hp on tap were needed, now they're in luck.  Ford and Mountune have teamed up to supply regular every day Focus RS owners with the rip roaring 345 hp variant that exists in the RS500 super hatch that was revealed early this month.
Even better for them it doesn't void any warranty and will be initially offered in the UK and then rolled out to the rest of Europe.

The Focus RS performance upgrade increases peak power from 305 PS to 350 PS, while torque rises by 20 Nm to 460 Nm.  Modifications include a larger intercooler, a larger air filter box, a larger diameter exhaust downpipe and an uprated fuel pump, along with an updated software calibration.

Again, this car will never see the light of day in NA, so don't get your hopes up of ever seeing this car if you don't live on eastern side of the Atlantic.
