Is there a market for an Ecoboost SVT Fusion

[JBR87]

I would say yes but it should undercut the SHO by at least 5K

 

[XtremeS10]

I think offering it from the cheapest stand point possible vs. a SHO setup (which I would like to see the new 5.0 in personally over the ecoboost) would be a great setup for a younger crowd or someone who wants into a different setup than a RWD v8 platform for performance, gives american tuners a chance, look how well the SRT-4 Neon went over...

That would be a good Halo Car.

Fusion with 3.5 TT /M6 + Awd = a good BMW competitor

the BMW M3(new one) except that dosn't have AWD....

I think you'll see a 2.0 EcoBoost Fusion in 2010.

+1
3.5 Eco would probably be considered too big; it's supposed to be a replacement for V-8's
Would be nice to see an SVT version with the big one though. And AWD :bowdown:

That it would.

+1. When I think of a small, turbo. AWD sedan built with performance in mind I think EVO and STI. If it was priced around 30k it could compete nicely. Too bad they wont bring over the Focus RS. Not AWD but deffinately a contender.

all the STI's and EVO's i looked at were 37k+

 

[shoand03cobra]

I believe there IS market for it.
Ford should have it built.
SHO is way to bigggggggggg

Probably would be a better deal money wise to have them bump up the n/a power of the 3.7 to around 345 and go AWD for under $36k w/leather and paddle shifting.

I was thinking the other day how nice it would be to have a 3.7 in a Fusion.

 

[CosworthRS]

I always thought this would make a good SVT car. I've seen companies modify this car pretty good. Especially the one I just got hired for. Not that its for me. I would definitely see a market for these cars.

Not at 40K, no way, Low to Mid 30's, Hell yeah. If you keep it around the 40K range, I just as soon have the SHO.

 

[David Hester]

Wife has a '08 MKZ 4wd. Would be nice with more power and a proper gearbox. I'd consider one. She had a LS before that and likes the more nimble feel, but still room inside. Says SHO is too big now....
I've had a Contour SVT, Focus SVT and Cobra SVT. I liked them all.
Do something quick, though. We have a new grandson and she's talking about a Flex.:shrug:

 

[Steve@TF]

cant believe i never saw this thread :shrug:

svt fusion with awd and 6 speed flappy paddle gearbox. 3.5 V6 OR eco-boost 4 banger (turbo v6 unlikely) and price it near $30k and id be all over it. for $40k?? no thanks. ill wait five years and grab one for $20k after they tank in resale value :bored:

if the MS6 was going for around $30k, and many people actually paid less, than there's no reason why they couldnt do similar with the fusion.

After just seeing what the next Fusion might look like based off the design of the new Mondeo I'll certainly say yes! Check it out!

Sneak peak at Ford’s next all-new Fusion?

the best part is that the mondeo design isn't what it'll be based off of, but what it will actually be! around the time mulally came aboard, ford announced they were combining many platforms, with the US fusion and the mondeo being one of those platforms.

Why not put the new 5.0 in the Fusion.If you want to get more power go with the new 5.0.
Can it be done and price it at 38K.
then add a paddle shifter to it with the automatic,& offer a 6 speed for the gear shifters.
Just wishing.

Good luck squeezing the 5L horizontally between the strut towers

 

[4vmn12]

build it with the six-cyl ecoboost+awd, and sell it for 32-35. I'd buy one right now.

 

[jstorm]

Has Ford or even the performance shops thought about bolting the SHO or F150 turbo's onto the current Fusion??
I would love to know!!!
Has anybody tried it.?!
