Fusion GT delayed to 2012…

Motor Trend magazine has reported that the rumoured Fusion GT, which could be powered by a 250+kW EcoBoost V6 & and AWD drivetrain, has been delayed to at least 2012. This is thought to have been created to be a limited production super-Fusion special to be the ‘last hurrah’ to the current platform (before Ford USA switches over to the “EUCD” platform that currently underpins the Mondeo in the near future).

EcoBoost to get Ethanol version…

Although not officially confirmed, PickUpTrucks.com has unveiled Ford’s plans for a Ethanol version of Ford’s upcoming EcoBoost engine. Codenamed “Bobcat”, this version of Ford’s new fuel efficient engine should see fuel usage lowered even more from the already acclaimed ‘fuel sipper’ [EcoBoost]. With the ethanol technology, these engines should use around 30% less fuel – while giving more power & torque.
