I've always liked the Fusion Sport, one of the automotive kingdom's biggest sleepers. Ford, dumping the Fusion is probably the worst decision they have ever made.
I think the Edge Sport is a bigger sleeper than the Fusion tbh. No one expects my little CUV to be fast. At all. 12's on just a tune and everything else looks like an unassuming stock grandma/soccer mom CUV. :)
@@wbwayne8887 Makes me sad just thinking about it. All essentially to raise their stock price a little bit and maybe the Rivian Co-op. The Fusion Sport is the Mondeo Cosworth we always hoped for, and as soon as we get a true Focus RS, it gets cut short like Colin McRae.
Watched this entire video with a smile on my face! Thanks again Sam for letting me come out and have some fun! If you ever wanna do more just say the word!
I own the plug-in hybrid version. The battery pull has had me smoked alot of chargers and challengers. When we got past 105 mph that's when they came back
@@cammgt3rs370 Oh yea, the Ecoboost 3.5 is no joke... I wish I would have bought a Taurus SHO with the 3.5 Twin Turbo Ecoboost before they discontinued them. 😭
Honestly I’d take the Fusion if we’re talking Ecoboost V6 vs Ecoboost I-4. I remember driving a Edge Sport with the 2.7, I was amazed by its performance but not how the 6 speed was programmed on higher speeds.
Thanks for the race Sam! The Ecoboost is a great motor no matter what displacement. I'd love to see the tuned Fusion Sport vs stock or tuned MKZ 3.0. I have a tuned MKZ AWD and she's a beast!
Great job Ford, you took a car that had so much potential and blew it. Even GM is trying to get rid of the Malibu yet are still selling them out every year.
93 tune only on my Fusion and the only cars I've run into that can challenge me from a dig on the street are $70k+ European cars and an occasional heavily built muscle car. Tuned on 93 and you'll run 12.6-12.8 with good track conditions. Ethanol tune and you can run mid-low 12's. AWD on the street is the difference.
@@colemason2422 I've ran stock 5.0s. Stock 5.0's don't run 11.7 on the street, they run 11.7 on a prepped track with a professional driver on racing slicks. The tires spin big time on the street. From a roll I'd get destroyed, but not a dig.
I really like your review and comparison your videos are straight to the point using all modes traction on traction off it really let you know what car to buy compared to other cars awesome video
I like seeing all the positive comments around the Fusion Sport. Its a great car for being a normal car with a special engine. The Lincoln MKZ has the same 2.7l nano engine but just bored up to 3.0l to make 400 hp and 400 lbft. I feel like most car enthusiasts and journalists fell asleep on these (aka all of the "I completely forgotten about them" comments). These are cars that the average person could have afforded, not a $70,000+ mustang. And now that are discontinued
@@Blue-moon12 I'd say I have an even better sleeper now (hit a deer and totalled my 2011), a 2014 CTS V-Sport, 3.6TT. 93 octane tune alone can get you in the high 11's at a drag strip and the car handles light years better than the ol pig lol. The AWD and massive torque of the Ecoboost on the street is missed but otherwise I like the caddy better.
@Catholic Firefighter 13.5-13.6 was real world repeatable on the street. 12.7 with tune only was done on the street all the time. Hundreds if not close to 1000 brake boost launches in that thing!
@@nathanaelcole8466 3.6tt in the v sport is super underrated. It's literally the atsv motor with smaller turbos. Such a great car just so expensive used. Had a sport and now I've moved to a tuned Tesla model 3. Thing is mid to low 11s on the street. Love it!
@Catholic Firefighter great, SHO's don't have spare tires and the mags play around with the cars a lot to figure the best launch technique. Most magazines got 13.5-13.6 in a SHO. AWD car? Brake boost is the obvious thing to do when the car doesn't have a sophisticated launch control.
As a previous owner of both cars I can say this was awesome to see. Both my Sport and Ecoboost Stang had a tune and at a drag strip with prep and both cars with a 93 tune they were very close. The sport ran a best of 12.60 and the Eco Stang ran a best of 12.57.
If the Fusion Brake boost at 2,200 RPM, on a good day, the stock Fusion Sport will click the quarter at 13.9 @ 99.5 MPH. (Hopefully they run on Premium fuel for better OAR).
I stupidly traded in mine november of 2020. But I want to get it again because I dont think prices are going to come down much for niche discontinued cars such as the Fusion Sport.
Great match up! Considering the 400 lb or so weight difference, and the 6 vs 10 speed. I'm really surprised the Fusion did so well. And just for reference it weighs more like 4100 lbs instead of the 3681 that's listed in the video. Almost bought the Fusion Sport, but got a 2017 MKZ 3.0t AWD instead. If you guys can find a match up for this car I'd love to see that. Keep up the great work 👍
I have been waiting for a matchup for an MKZ 3.0 AWD, or even another youtube review. I offered mine for Matt Moran and was rejected lol. I have a lot of good matchup ideas for the MKZ. Ford Taurus SHO, even a Fusion Sport, which would lose but would be interesting. Also, XTS Vsport, Infiniti Q50 3.0, Genesis g80, Jag XE rsport, Acura TLX Type-S, cadillac ct6 3.0, cadillac CT5-V...
@@bmshaven Yeah the 3.0t MKZ doesn't seem to be well known in general. I traded a 2018 V6 Camaro for this car. Had a chance to do a little run between the two, and it was fairly close, with the slight edge to the MKZ. I'm with you on seeing some good comparisons with this car. Seems like it almost doesn't exist lol
@@RC-jg2fz ah...yes, GMs tried and true 3.6 powerplant under the the hood of a 3400 lb Camaro. I have a detuned 3.6 in my 2017 Lacrosse. Thing is wafty and shifts lazily, but you can definitely still feel that powerful v6 under the hood.
@@bmshaven Yep 3380 lbs to be exact. I had it weighed on a certified CAT scale with a half tank of gas. On that same exact scale my MKZ was 4400 lbs with a half tank. That pano roof with the extra bracing adds a bit. My girlfriend has a 2017 Impala Premier which has the same motor as your Lacrosse. That's the LFX, whereas the 6th gen Camaro has the LGX. I'm not sure if you've seen some of the dyno charts for the stock MKZ, but it appears the torque is a bit underrated. It's more like 450 instead of 400. That combined with tight ratios on the 6 speed make it bit stronger than some may think
@@RC-jg2fz Funny that you mention the impala. I was actually shopping for a 2014+ Impala and was literally about to buy my neighbors, and then I saw the redesigned 2017 Lacrosse at a dealership and then went shopping for the Lacrosse. I didn't know the performance specs and wanted to make sure the Lacrosse wasn't slower, so I did a bit of research. The 2017 Lacrosse engine actually has the LGX which when dropped in the Buick puts out 310 hp and 282 lb-ft of torque per GM, 307 hp per SAE's official number ;). Without the sunroof and with 18's, curb weight comes in around 3610 lbs. The Lacrosse has no excuse to not be quick; however, I'm sure the engineers had to neuter the car with that much power on tap combined with the impressively low curb weight. Zero torque steer, but front tires will light up easily and the gears in the 8 speed are far too long and shift very slow. Not a MKZ 3.0 lol, but the Lacrosse is one of the most comfortable and quiet cars I have ever driver. Sadly, had full size sedans not met their demise, we would have been looking at 2020 Lacrosse Supers and Impala SSs.
@1:16 min. Hell Yeah, the Fusion is a cool community. Great video, my only wish would have been a tuned Sport vs a Stock Coyote. Again thank you for taking the time to do the test.
Sam good race, the turbo Fusions were fast. Thank you for sharing. Another good race to see would be the Genesis GV70 2.5t sport prestige vs Porsche Macan 2.0t.
@Random Uploads yes, about a week ago actually. A charger rt 5.7. He spun off the line. By the time I hit 60, my car was well ahead of his. The rt is heavier, rwd, and has less hp than mine.
@Random Uploads the awd is the deciding factor in most of the races I've been in. I also have a 93 tune, a bigger fmic, and other upgrades with play a huge part.
The Sport is AWD with a twin turbo 2.7 V6, 325 HP, 380 Torque vs the RWD Ecoboost with a single turbo 2.3 4 cylinder with 310 HP, 350 torque. No surprise which accelerates the quickest in its best mode.
Roll race really shows how bad the fusion sport transmission is. It's my biggest complaint about the car. It does well from a dig and launches well, but when it comes to downshifting it's really terrible.
It should be said the trans is decent and does okay for what it is, but it's a torque converted automatic and has only 6 gears to sit in versus the 10 of the Mustang, which is the much better transmission now that Ford has it dialed in.
Enjoyed the video. I've always been big fan of both cars. The Fusion is a nice sedan with the Awd Sport being a nice starting point for building a Ford performance factory sedan along with the Forgotten Taurus SHO to compete with the Charger RT. Ford should have never dropped the Fusion and MKZ in the US. A dumb move. If I might mention. Try the Mustang EcoBoost HPP In your next test. It's basically an RS Mustang that has performance numbers close to the Mustang GT.
I work for ford, was sad when they got rid of the fusion and other models. I had a 2018 fusion sport and it was the best little sleeper car. Could drive it chill and then just romp on it and it would give enough of a thrill for most non gear heads. Wish I kept it .
I raced a Civic in my 2011 Fusion on my way back from school, and maybe it was because they backed off, but I won. It's surprising how fast even the stock Fusions can get, especially with 0-60 in 6 to 8 seconds
I own a Fusion Sport and it is truly a sleeper. Did you use 93 Octane for the full performance of the Sport? Great video. Can't wait to see the Tuned version in action.
I have a murdered out 2010 SEL fusion v6 3.0l w exhaust work it’s such a great car interior is two tone peanut butter seats and black trim and dash it’s such a sleep it gets up! Wish I had the 2011 fusion sport I love the old body’s they look so much better looks more sporty
When i worked for Ford in '05 i drove the Mach 1, which made a lot of noise and shook like crazy!... Years later i bought a '16 Fusion SE, which reminded me a lot of the Lincoln Mark 8 i had yrs ago...2 months ago i got a speeding ticket in the Fusion... Yup! The Fusion is FAST!
As an FFS owner yes, it's a sleepy beast. It has its issues though: Weight and the 6F55 trans. Intercooler size is questionable at best and Stability control cant be turned off and is way too conservative and likes to pull timing/limit torque. Stock 3 piston brakes aren't enough when you start getting into deeper mods as well. 4k Lb family sedan running mid-12 high 11s lol.
@@invalidusername_5101 its like 4200 plus with the 401A package and a 180lb driver. I own one...I know. Very noticable at is limits. Stock brakes will let you know.
I own a first gen 2010 Fusion Sport LOVE IT! talk about people not knowing a Fusion Sport existed- doubt anyone remembers the first gen SPORT from 2010-2012?
Ford Fusion Sport. The one with the 2.7 that can beat a lot of hot hatches down the 1/4 mile. Ford says it makes 325 hp, but it consistently beats 330 hp Ecoboost mustangs that also weigh less. My guess is that it makes closer to 350.
I've raced a k5 gt in my sport. I had the unfair advantage since mine is tuned with added bolt-ons. I got him off the line due to awd. I kept gapping him until I hit 60. We talked at the next light. He never knew about the sport and was very surprised.
compare this video to the 2.3 Mustang vs Accord video and you can see the Fusion would win by a lot from a dig. The roll races seem to show an even match up or even an Accord win.
My 2012 v6 mustang is on a 93 tune and it does have decent power considering i took mufflers off and put 2 straight pipes from American muscle and e3 spark plugs it can beat alot of Toyotas and mazda cars
@@AkronKid330 Closest races The 6.4l srt8 jeep - slight pull the entire time 6.1l challenger - pulled to start and he came back. But it was 95+ that day. So I suspect in a 70 degree day I might have been able to keep him back. Both vehicles sounded amazing. Jeep had a muffler delete not sure if the challenger had anything. Things I handled easily and was surprised Bolt on STi G8 gt
Seen ur other videos of the new civic vs the Elantra the Elantra seemed a lot quicker how would a 2020 mazda3 non turbo do ? Maybe a drag race for the slow cars!
There need to be a Fusion Sport vs 3.0 lincoln mkz! That would be an interesting race. Both share the same platform. Mkz is heavier (I believe) but with more hp🤔
@Catholic Firefighter True that, haven't looked at either in while though. Quick search: ruclips.net/video/ii_fkXhg73Q/видео.html 11.03 at 121...not shabby for a stock turbo ecoboost Mustang. Off the top of my head and with just tunes, I've seen 12s out of both cars but will take a closer look. I remember a tuned Fusion 2.7 doing 108 in the quarter and that's a bit quicker than the 106 I usually see out of tune only 2.3ts. I'd venture to guess that a tuned 2.3t would whoop a stock 2.7t and then who knows after tuning both. As you can see though, the 2.3t can be pretty mean. Love both of these cars but my complaint about the Fusion is it's not made anymore. Edit: Brandon DEFINITELY needs to get going. lol
what numbers are you getting with the tune. I bought a Fusion Sport in July 2020 but traded in shortly after because the gas was a killer. But I miss it so much and just got a fully remote job so I am going to get it again. Even in this crazy market its still such a value.
Nice video! Can you make a video with that Charger scat pack Daytona again or the new charger scat pack wide body with Mickey Thompson radial tires for better launch vs The new Tesla model 3 dual motor no 2000$ performance upgrade or with it. That would be very interesting race because I have a 2018 Scat Pack Charger Daytona 💪 🚗 👍 🍻

It should be said the trans is decent and does okay for what it is, but it's a torque converted automatic and has only 6 gears to sit in versus the 10 of the Mustang, which is the much better transmission now that Ford has it dialed in.
Very annoying indeed.
You can hear it in a video third gear is terrible
Enjoyed the video. I've always been big fan of both cars. The Fusion is a nice sedan with the Awd Sport being a nice starting point for building a Ford performance factory sedan along with the Forgotten Taurus SHO to compete with the Charger RT. Ford should have never dropped the Fusion and MKZ in the US. A dumb move.
If I might mention. Try the Mustang EcoBoost HPP In your next test. It's basically an RS Mustang that has performance numbers close to the Mustang GT.
330HP is still a long way from 460. Maybe handling is close.
I work for ford, was sad when they got rid of the fusion and other models. I had a 2018 fusion sport and it was the best little sleeper car. Could drive it chill and then just romp on it and it would give enough of a thrill for most non gear heads. Wish I kept it .
I love my fusion sport. I think it will be a close race.
Oh my you got your hands on a Fusion Sport! You gotta get that up against the K5GT.
That's what I want to see as well !
great content as always
You guys should get a tuned sport and run it against some stock V8s that would be a Awesome video !!
Nice race! Interesting to see the 2.3 and 2.7 run. Sam that hair is on point mate! Your next calling car could be acting. 😁😁
Thank you
Nice! Now just waiting for the Fusion Sport vs Accord 2.0t
Love the ford fusion sport content 👏👏
I raced a Civic in my 2011 Fusion on my way back from school, and maybe it was because they backed off, but I won.
It's surprising how fast even the stock Fusions can get, especially with 0-60 in 6 to 8 seconds
I own a Fusion Sport and it is truly a sleeper. Did you use 93 Octane for the full performance of the Sport? Great video. Can't wait to see the Tuned version in action.
I’ve been waiting forever for this video Jesus upload more of the sport
I have both vehicles and would expect the one with bigger displacement, more turbos and all wheel drive to win.
I have a murdered out 2010 SEL fusion v6 3.0l w exhaust work it’s such a great car interior is two tone peanut butter seats and black trim and dash it’s such a sleep it gets up! Wish I had the 2011 fusion sport I love the old body’s they look so much better looks more sporty
When i worked for Ford in '05 i drove the Mach 1, which made a lot of noise and shook like crazy!... Years later i bought a '16 Fusion SE, which reminded me a lot of the Lincoln Mark 8 i had yrs ago...2 months ago i got a speeding ticket in the Fusion... Yup! The Fusion is FAST!
As a 2.0t accord owner I have to give it to the FFS! I want to see it against the k5 definitely!
I enjoy this video so much you should have the accord race the fusión
Great video! Hyundai Veloster N vs Mustang Ecoboost next please!
These races are more fun than the high hp cars. Fusion vs accord next
Fusions are pretty fast cars up to 145 they pull. Orlando area a few tuned. Straight sleepers
As an FFS owner yes, it's a sleepy beast. It has its issues though: Weight and the 6F55 trans. Intercooler size is questionable at best and Stability control cant be turned off and is way too conservative and likes to pull timing/limit torque. Stock 3 piston brakes aren't enough when you start getting into deeper mods as well. 4k Lb family sedan running mid-12 high 11s lol.
Also dont forget the fucking nightmare plastic oil pan. On my 3rd one so far :D thank you ford!!!
Is it the 6F55 programming or the transmission itself?
It only weighs 4000lbs tf you talking about😂
@@invalidusername_5101 its like 4200 plus with the 401A package and a 180lb driver. I own one...I know. Very noticable at is limits. Stock brakes will let you know.
@@Darylrb1983 trans itself. Weak front diff/shaft. Rear diff is okay but starts to struggle at around 500hp
I own a first gen 2010 Fusion Sport LOVE IT! talk about people not knowing a Fusion Sport existed- doubt anyone remembers the first gen SPORT from 2010-2012?
Would love to see this same race with the Taurus sho. Stock and tuned
Sam I would like to see the Taurus sho that one is fast too
Ford Fusion Sport. The one with the 2.7 that can beat a lot of hot hatches down the 1/4 mile. Ford says it makes 325 hp, but it consistently beats 330 hp Ecoboost mustangs that also weigh less. My guess is that it makes closer to 350.
It's the torque.
Cant wait to see the Fusion Sport vs Accord 2.0
I wonder it would do against the K5 GT tho
Awesome video as always 👌 👏.
The fusion would win because it’s a boosted V6 and the accord is a lightly boosted 4 cylinder.
Accord is dope af but would not win, the fusion has been class leading even still being discontinued
I've raced a k5 gt in my sport. I had the unfair advantage since mine is tuned with added bolt-ons. I got him off the line due to awd. I kept gapping him until I hit 60. We talked at the next light. He never knew about the sport and was very surprised.
compare this video to the 2.3 Mustang vs Accord video and you can see the Fusion would win by a lot from a dig. The roll races seem to show an even match up or even an Accord win.
@@nissandude even the GLI beat the ecoboost HPP which has more HP than the one accord race
My 2012 v6 mustang is on a 93 tune and it does have decent power considering i took mufflers off and put 2 straight pipes from American muscle and e3 spark plugs it can beat alot of Toyotas and mazda cars
Have a sport tuned by unleashed on 93.
Am guessing your future vid will show the difference. It’s amazing how the things goes 0-60
What have you raced and beat?
@@AkronKid330
Closest races
The 6.4l srt8 jeep - slight pull the entire time
6.1l challenger - pulled to start and he came back. But it was 95+ that day. So I suspect in a 70 degree day I might have been able to keep him back. Both vehicles sounded amazing. Jeep had a muffler delete not sure if the challenger had anything.
Things I handled easily and was surprised
Bolt on STi
G8 gt
@@YourBestFriendforToday man that's awesome. I love sleepers!
That fusion is a great sleeper, because it definitely doesn't look like it will be fast, but it surely is, relatively speaking.
Epic sleeper because there are so many lame variants of Fusion all over the road. I would love to own one!
Well this is gonna be interesting
I'm writing this before I see the races... I'm getting the feeling the 10 speed in the Mustang might take it. We'll see.
Really really nice race Sam! This makes me really curious about the GLI vs ecoboost! Hope to see it soon
Yes please post that race Sam!
Seen ur other videos of the new civic vs the Elantra the Elantra seemed a lot quicker how would a 2020 mazda3 non turbo do ? Maybe a drag race for the slow cars!
There need to be a Fusion Sport vs 3.0 lincoln mkz! That would be an interesting race. Both share the same platform. Mkz is heavier (I believe) but with more hp🤔
It’ll be nice to see a v6 challenger or charger vs the 2.3l ecoboost v6
Would be interesting to see how each would do with a tune ..
Good stuff.
@Catholic Firefighter True that, haven't looked at either in while though. Quick search: ruclips.net/video/ii_fkXhg73Q/видео.html
11.03 at 121...not shabby for a stock turbo ecoboost Mustang.
Off the top of my head and with just tunes, I've seen 12s out of both cars but will take a closer look. I remember a tuned Fusion 2.7 doing 108 in the quarter and that's a bit quicker than the 106 I usually see out of tune only 2.3ts. I'd venture to guess that a tuned 2.3t would whoop a stock 2.7t and then who knows after tuning both. As you can see though, the 2.3t can be pretty mean.
Love both of these cars but my complaint about the Fusion is it's not made anymore.
Edit: Brandon DEFINITELY needs to get going. lol
Next accord 2.0t vs fusion sport
I believe he has already recorded that video. We are just waiting for it to drop.
@@CanadianMax thanks bro for conforming 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I want to see the fusion against the k5 gt and a acura tlx type S
Do more races with the Ford Fusion Sport
I have a tuned sport and have beat several 5.0 non 10 speed Mustangs at the track. The 10 speed and bump in hp really makes a difference.
what numbers are you getting with the tune. I bought a Fusion Sport in July 2020 but traded in shortly after because the gas was a killer. But I miss it so much and just got a fully remote job so I am going to get it again. Even in this crazy market its still such a value.
Love the fuckin intro's to the videos.
Could have thrown an RS into the mix to make it even more interesting.
Can we see a 2013-2014 Cadillac ATS with the 3.6 in one of these races?!?!
Ecoboost vs RT or Veloster N
Nice race, would love to see a 2014-2016 tuned Impala vs a fusion 2.7 v6
Specifically a limited Impala
Or even a 3.6 Impala limited vs like a charger SE
Well if you didn’t expect it, then the Fusion definitely won lol.
The Fusion Sport was the true spiritual successor to the 90's Taurus SHO, moreso than the modern day Taurus SHO was.
The Fusion Sport is a proper replacement for the Mondeo ST220.
can we see another accord 2.0t race ??? Please
The fusion is such an underrated car, it’s definitely better the newer V6 Maxima’s that have the crappy CVT transmission.
Nice video! Can you make a video with that Charger scat pack Daytona again or the new charger scat pack wide body with Mickey Thompson radial tires for better launch vs The new Tesla model 3 dual motor no 2000$ performance upgrade or with it.
That would be very interesting race because I have a 2018 Scat Pack Charger Daytona 💪 🚗 👍 🍻
I'll volunteer my Fusion Sport to take on anything you like.
Man ive be gaiting a Lot this!
Love fusión sport
I'll like to see the 2017-2020 mkz AWD fare with the 3.0 twin turbo
Coming from a ecoboost owner..I do be seeing them speed 👀
What more potentially exciting than a ford fusion sport vs an infiniti q50 3.0t...both awd.
Ford fusion is the best looking everyday sedan of all time got mine charcoal gray and tinted the windows so cherry 🍒
I love my Fusion Sport!
Does the 1.5 2019 fusion compare at all…just tryina see if they literally gave me the RUNT of the whole fusion line
Bigger engine AWD I’m not surprised
