Ford is no stranger to performance, and they even have their own division for it with models like the Focus RS, Raptor, and others. But the 2017 Fusion Sport isn’t a part of that—it’s a midsize sedan that stands out on more than just its looks. With 325 horsepower, 380 lb-ft of torque, and all-wheel drive, it’s the most powerful option in the segment.
A lot of competing sport models are all badging and a modest increase in engine output, but the Fusion Sport goes the full monty. Its 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 was originally developed for the F-150, and now enables a 5.3 second 0-60 sprint in the Fusion Sport. While that may not put the car on par with German luxury makes, it certainly pushes it far ahead of any other midsize sedan in the mainstream. Paddle shifters, retuned suspension, and an addictive straight-line acceleration character round out the experience.
The Sport model pushes the already stand-out characteristics of the Fusion into the realm of exhilarating performance. To try your hand behind the wheel, schedule an appointment with our Ford dealership in Redding, CA whenever it’s convenient.
