For Puts the Pressure on More Expensive German Sedans with All-new Fusion V6 Sport

When it comes to sedans with high-output engines and jaw-dropping agility, you might think you have to cross the ocean for something European. That's not the case anymore, as yesterday, Ford announced the impending arrival of a new Fusion model with serious EcoBoost power, that's taking aim at certain German models with much higher price tags.

With a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost engine, the all-new Fusion V6 Sport produces 325 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. That's more than the BMW 535i at with a starting MSRP of just $33,475. Furthermore, the Fusion V6 Sport delivers all-wheel drive as standard equipment.

"It's not just Fusion buyers who want something hotter," says Wade Jackson, Ford Fusion marketing manager. "Owners of other midsize sedans, along with our own dealers, ask repeatedly. So buyers get a 2.7-liter EcoBoost that makes 325 horsepower and a more impressive 380 pound-feet of torque. These consumers also crave a car that's much more distinctive inside and out. Cross-shoppers will be shocked by the bang for the buck our new Fusion Sport delivers."

The 325-horsepower Fusion V6 Sport goes on sale at the end of summer 2016.

Despite limited availability in major markets like the UK and China, Ford sold around 110,000 Mustang coupes last year, more than any competitor. Additionally, the automaker delivered around 30,000 Mustang convertibles, bringing total nameplate sales to more than 141,000; making the Mustang the best-selling two-door sports car in the world by far.

"Global markets have responded in a huge way. Ford Mustang was the only sports coupe in the world with more than 100,000 units registered last year."
