Anyone seen this?

Looks like Ford are releasing a new S1600 with an extra 14bhp, no mention of price though.

Anyone know what they've modified from the standard 1.6?

Someone made a thread about this back in Jan.

No idea how they've got an extra 14bhp but I imagine they've done something similar to the Mountune kit. It mentions "twin chrome exhaust pipes" so I reckon it'll just be a cat-back and a remap.

I am phoning my dealership tomorrow and asking them to keep me informed!

Any sign of a diesel version?

Yeah only making 500. Thing is there still some older s1600 in dealer network so if ya not bothered about extra ps there maybe some good offers

Calum ill let the saleswoman you bought from know you want keeping informed. She does not work Tue wed or Thursday anymore. Just as info it was released on 7th Feb so should be able to order now

Well thats confirmed me that im going to have to get the 140 mountune kit now and then the 155 in the future

That's brilliant thanks, I wanted the original S1600 when I called down, she has all my details

For those interested...

Recommended Retail Price is: £13,087.50

Total Price (including VAT) is: £15,705.00

Estimated on the Road Price is: £15,895.00

Surely this is what the S1600 should have been in the first place with extra power over the standard Ti-VCT

Makes the first S1600 editions look like a half-arsed effort. Sure glad I didn't buy one of these now.

Still not showing in the configurator though.

It's still a pretty poor effort... wow, an extra 14bhp.

Weird spin off semi upgrades like this makes me think that there won't ever be a fiesta ST.

im still glad i got the original version...

if they had made it 150-170 bhp, then i would be pretty !Removed! off

I dont understand why this has been released when the Mountune upgrades are available.

adzmcp, do you have any info on the exhaust?

Ah, but surely they are saving that for the ST/RS?

Sorry, actually like the S1600, but Ford should have made the S1600 with extra power from the start.

Then again, what do I know, I went for the (underpowered) TDCi

i will admit i agree it should have more power, but im will mountune mine, the aim is before simply ford, but we'll see.

I plan on going for a focus ST next, so dont bother me about the fez ST if they make one, but that seems unlikely!

The day ford bring out a 200bhp Fiesta, i might decide to stick with fiesta!

I'm a tad confused by the quoted 0-60 of the new S1600. How can 14 BHP extra knock almost 2 seconds off the standard 1.6 engine?

Higher rev limiter (what is it on the zs anyway?) perhaps? Isn't that how mountune knock 2 seconds off by letting you hit 60 in 2nd? That said I'm sure I've done 60 in 2nd...

I'm a bit annoyed that the S1600 didn't have a bit of a performance boost to start with. Still glad I bought it though, really stands out against all the other MK7s on the road.

Still not sure about the mountune upgrade though, I'd be better selling this and getting a RenaultSport Clio, would be cheaper/faster!

Apparently the 9.9seconds claimed by Ford for the standard Zetec S is a fairly conservative figure to keep the insurance group low. In reality, it is probably closer to 9seconds for the standard car.

Really? I may need to put this to the test...

spoke to my dealer yesterday and they said they are not 100% sure it will be coming.

But it's on Ford's website?

It was launched 7th Feb

Found a picture of the exhausts. Certainly more classy and integrated than the Mountune exhaust.

It could just be a milltek system as thats claimed between 10-14bhp?

Standard ZS hit alot less than 9.9, as said I think Ford does them with full tank and 2 people + thier luggage onboard.

Got a vid somewhere of mine doing just over 8seconds witha k&n and Milltek Cat-Back.

Cant wait to get my milltek manifold and sports cat. This is what they should of had the Original S1600 as, it didnt make much more sense just for the stripes,wheels and leather I think
