abdecal Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Cameras mounted all over the inside. (At first I thought Scruit ) blacked out body panels, Michigan plates, and guy driving it had a Ford jacket on.Looked cool. Almost like a 3 series BMW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Ecoboost fusion?^ that is a pretty great guess IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdecal Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 My guess is a sport version of the focus. It had dual exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawlins87 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 ^ that is a pretty great guess IMOYea I could be wrong but it would make sense to have a mid sized twin Turbo to compete against BMW in the luxury division. I mean they already have the drivetrain for the sho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawlins87 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 It had black pieces of cardboard literally taped on it too so you can't tell the exact shape of itYea I understand but look at the overall length or wheelbase. Too big for a focus imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawlins87 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Maybe Taurus SVT?Would be cool if they did.but fords previous svt cars were small or compacts. (Mustang, contour, focus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 It had black pieces of cardboard literally taped on it too so you can't tell the exact shape of itThat's common for cars that haven't been officially released yet. I worked at a place called TRC near the Honda plant. We did durability testing for cars got to drive prototypes and sometimes they'd be covered like that. One time I was assigned an acura SUV that only had the gauges controls and drivers seat for interior. The rear windows were literally card board. All I know about it was it was turboed and fun to drive. Wasn't allowed to open the hood and look at the engine. A couple of times they had brought in cars where we all had to be inside when they were moving around the testing areas. We could hear some of them out on the 5 acre asphalt pad we had tearing through tires occasionally. I always wondered what those cars were.

bshultz0930 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 the falcon with a ecoboost engine would be perfect.. overseas its often fitted with the now, soon out of production 5.0, the ecoboost is a very very delicous engine.. even working on fords on a day to day basis, ive personally only seen 1 come in needing work, and one of the turbo's blew up on it.. those turbos are tiny too, maybe slightly larger then a softball and they create a ton of power.. you guys should check out the stress test they put that thing through and it came out on top.http://youtu.be/8tEqwXrqzH4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler524 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Those are the optional Fusion Titanium wheels. I have been heavily considering buying one. 2L Ecoboost AWD and pretty sexy looking blacked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler524 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) I take that back about the wheels but stand by my comment that the new fusion looks and drives damn good. Edited December 14, 2012 by tyler524 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
