Ford Fusion ST Spied With Quad Exhaust - Motor Trend
Up front, the Fusion ST sports an intercooler in the lower grille opening. Unlike the Focus ST , the souped-up Fusion doesn't appear to have a bold rear spoiler. There's a good chance the Fusion ST will pack a version of the automaker's 2. 7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6. Expect the mill to deliver between 300 and 325 hp and come paired with all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission (sorry,... The model will also likely receive a unique sport–tuned suspension just like the rest of the ST lineup. It's hard to say how the twin-turbo 2. 7-liter will perform in the Fusion, but a much heavier 2015 Ford F-150 Lariat 4x4 equipped with that engine hit 60 mph in 6. 5 seconds in our tests. I'll consider upgrading my 2. 0 SE to a new ST, but if it's cheap enough to get the next best thing with a few affordable upgrades from Ford Racing, I'll just do that and keep the Fusion I already have. In any case, I'm just glad Ford is finally waking up to the demand for a Fusion ST and a Fusion RS, both are long overdue and should be very old news by now. Every other Ford ST product has a manual transmission right. So why should a performance oriented sedan from a company that seems to like manual transmissions in every other car in their performance lineup have no manual. Source: wot.motortrend.com
