I actually saw this mule a couple weeks ago around Dearborn.. Took a couple pics but they're on my other phone. I'll upload them when I get a chance

That's cool. I wonder if a sho will be offered.

This has some awesome potential in a SHO package!

yep, just like the rumors said, ... a stretched fusion. Definitely some potential here.

Just show me the weight reduction of 500-700 lbs. and I will come back for another round of SHO. Each 100 lbs. weight savings is roughly equitable to a solid tenth in the quarter mile. 13.1 to 13.3 quarter mile stock would be a nice starting point.

that too and a decent powered 3.5L TT engine that cranks right at 400hp.... GM's 3.6L TT engine makes 420...

Time for ford to rise the bar a bit.

Might be asking for too much here, but a rear biased AWD system would also be a big plus.

X2! That would make it a real performer!

Would the Fusion platform hold AWD and a 3.5TT?

A video to go with the pic above, I'm not crazy about how the stance is on the road.

a car that long shouldn't have skinny tires like that....

I bet more than likely it will get the new 2.7EB motor with start/stop.

Yes ... This mule is longer and wider and fitment would be easier for the 3 5 EB AWD powertrain .

Who's to say that the 3.5 will be in the next SHO?
