Yipes, 340 HP AWD? Audi S4 killer indeed :blink:

Hrm... there's a project down the road, shove that motor into my car (I hate what they did to the next gen Fusion interior :()

Not as cool as a 340hp Focus.

I will definately be interested if there is a 4cyl turbo Focus coming up...... as long as the actual design is better than what it is now.

this is good news

Focus GT? Methinks I smell a second car coming on!!! :lol: :lol: :ph34r:

Altho, I gotta admit, a 340HP, Hemi-slaying Fusion GT is definitely appealing. AND, it's an easier sell for sure.

*wonders how quick he can get the G/F to go get her license so she can have the Escape* :P

You wouldn't want just the engine without the handling package.

But I have a solution from my flight bag if you really hate the interior...



:lol:

I can only hope its the same style as the one in the UK now, 5 door hatch with turbo 6 six speed.

Geez, I'd wear that I'd be driving like half of the people already DO on the 401! :lol:

Speaking of handling upgrades... the Fusion AWD is such an odd duck suspension wise that handling upgrades are zilch ATM, I can live with that (I mean short of Mosport this weekend I don't fling the car around)

Though what I do miss is the MBRP sound... that always made people back the hell off if I stomped on the gas in the Focus :(

You should see if MBRP needs a Fusion to fab up a new system. You can be their guinea pig again. :P

Already offered up my car as a test mule, so far they've said "Thanks but no demand as yet" :(

Almost tempted to pay them to do a one off for me just to try and drum up some interest, because I guarantee an MBRP'ed V6 Fusion would sound "Groovy" :P

Focus GT ftw

I need to see if they want an offering for the 1M+ Escapes that are out there. :ph34r:

I've heard V6 don't sound good at all. Something to do with a Dual Chamber Exhaust, heard it from a pro who in his spare time tares down cars and builds racers out of them.(Anycar lol)
You ever see a 300hp turbo Sundance lol :blink:

i hope im not mistaking but didn't a specific year of sundance's come turbo from factory anyways i really really hope ford steps it up and sells these boosted cars in n/a not sure who makes the mazdaspeed3 motor i heard rumours Peugeot had a hand in it but its won tons of awards so ford should really look at that and improve and evolve from there

I had a 2.5" magnaflow exhaust on my V6 Mystique and it sounded amazing - the Duratec 30 and 35 are basically the same engine - no reason IMO why they wouldn't sound good too.

Look on Youtube for DTM Audis and even the new Nissan GT-R exhaust clips. Tell me that doesn't sound good. :)

Audi with Remus exhaust:



Another Audi:



Ford Fusion with intake, tune, exhaust (Daniel, you might like this!):



I think a call to MBRP might be in order ;)

Sometimes people who are "pro" just fail at being pro all the time. Maybe he had a bad engine or something, or it didn't turn out the way he wanted it.

More proof of a wicked V6? The VQ V6 in the Infiniti G35:

niiiiiiiiiiice, I should be due for a new car by then. Hopefully it will look like this!
