Ford FPV Falcon GT Rumored for the U.S.; Rear-Drive Supercharged V8 and All

so put a v8 RWD in the taurus then. it's already a full-size chassis.

the sho is a SEDAN. we need an AWD ecoboost v6 COUPE. either build it on the focus or the fusion platform--but either way, ford needs to build one. it would cost less than half what a GTR costs, offer close to the same level of performance (with only a few tweaks) and would sell like HOTCAKES.

RWD domestic fanbois behind the wheel at FROD are blind. that is all.

I agree that a TT V6 coupe would be super sexy. Ford won't make a coupe version of the Fusion since they are pretty much all-in with the Mustang in the coupe department. The Focus is probably the only platform for this.

they are seriously looking into putting ecoboost in a mustang. but it WON'T be awd. i agree that a focus coupe fastback would be the ideal platform. likely able to keep curb weight to ~3400 lbs or less (which is GREAT for awd). needs to have a low drag shape (unlike mustang). i still say a reborn probe would be ideal.

ecoboost v6 is ~350-360hp. the protypes had over 400hp. ford isn't pushing them more because it will piss off the v8 fanbois to know that headers, intake and exhaust on their beloved 5.0's can't hold a candle to an ECU flash and fuel mods on a tt v6.
