Considering that the 2018 Ford Mustang facelift is
looming on the horizon, this bit of tuning came late to the party.
The 270 Power Pack for the Mustang EcoBoost refers
to 270 kW and 540 Nm. In American money, that’d be 362 horsepower and 398
pound-feet of torque, which is more than the Focus RS has to offer from the
2.3-liter four-pot turbocharged engine. Tickford
massaged the powerplant with a more aggressive ECU remap, a cold air intake,
and a four-pipe cat-back exhaust system.
Beyond the performance-oriented mods, the 270 Power
Pack also consists of an individually-numbered plaque and a sporty rear
diffuser. Including the 10 percent
goods and services tax applicable in Australia, the retail price is AU$ 6,990
or US$ 5,280 at current exchange rates. For reference, the cheapest right-hand
drive Mustang EcoBoost starts from AUD 50,417 (US$ 38,095) in the Land Down
Tickford can push the
V8-powered Mustang GT to 360 kW and 585 Nm (483 horsepower and 431 pound-feet).
To achieve these numbers from the 5.0-liter blunderbuss, the tuning company
applied the same modifications as with the EcoBoost, save for the size of the
exhaust system (3” instead of 2.5”) and the carbon tips. Like 270 Power Pack,
the 360 kW Power Pack is priced at AU$ 6,990.
