Revo's Mustang 'Ecobeast': PH Videoblog
The acceptable face of the four-cylinder Ford Mustang? With a little help from Revo Technik Dan makes the case
Truth is though Mustangs have always been sold with smaller engines, and in huge numbers back in their Stateside home market. And with a version of the 2.3-litre Ecoboost engine shared with the Focus RS the 'base' four-cylinder Mustang you can now buy here certainly does the numbers. Whether you're looking at performance or running costs it possibly makes a Mustang a car you can buy with your heart AND your head.
To help make that case stronger still British-based tuner Revo Technik has been branching out from its core business of upgrade packages for VW group cars with a new range of products for both the Focus RS and the Mustang. Here we have the latter with Revo's Stage 1 tuning package that, as you'll see, puts an interesting twist on the comparison between four-cylinder Mustang and its V8 big brother. Enough to make you want one? Full review to follow; for now here's Dan's videoblog with his first impressions...

I'd be more interested to know the numbers behind the stage 2 revo package. It might be closer price-wise to the v8, but I'm guessing it would be quite a bit better in terms of performance. The stage 1 4 cylinder revo package already beats the v8 in torque, so I'm really curious about it.
Downside for me is the size of it. It wont fit a standard UK garage (not much will), and even if you could squeeze it in, those doors may mean escaping through either the sunroof (do they come with them?), or Dukes-of-Hazzard style.
I'd rather the Focus RS with a tweak or two, but then they're different cars aren't they.
