Pumped-up Mustangs not doing it for you? Then Steeda’s more subtle changes could be the answer
MOST OF THE AFTERMARKET packages on offer for Ford’s Mustang do little to help it adapt to life this side of the pond – 800bhp supercharged engines and fat stripes, although fun, probably don’t suit your European sensibilities.
Steeda’s approach is different. The Florida-based company has been operating for 30 years, is the world’s largest aftermarket manufacturer of performance Ford parts and works so closely with Ford it has access to its CAD data and pre-release models. It also has a facility in Georgia with a test track, a skidpan, a brake test area, and multiple road surfaces to assess ride quality. Now turnkey Steeda cars, such as this Q500 Enforcer, are available in the UK.

BEST BUYS BMW M CARS
THE PERFORMANCE CAR LANDSCAPE WOULD HAVE looked very different over the last five decades without BMW. Its M division, founded in 1972, has produced some of the best driver’s cars ever to hit the road, and in the process has provided a stream of benchmark models for its rivals to chase. In recent years, stricter emissions regulations, downsizing and electrification have seen some of those rival cars falter, yet by and large BMW’s M machines have remained strong. In fact, some rank among the greatest the department has made think of the eCoty-winning M2 CS and M5 CS while others are the only options worth recommending in their respective segments. Price tags have risen with performance, however, putting those latest offerings out of reach for many, but the marque’s popularity means there are numerous earlier M models available on the second-hand market for far more attainable figures. Here are four of our favourites.
