2017 Ford Fusion Sport VS Ford Taurus SHO! 0-60 MPH / 0-100 MPH Race! Which is quicker ? 

Guess you people have never actually been in a real fast car before 😂🤣 these are average numbers compare to todays cars. Nothing special.

@@fel1xxfel1xx60 and what car do you drive? id like to see your car do any better

@@TristanSpeno I mean I have an 05’ F-150 with Fbo, e85 tune.

@@AustinB3.6R is that considered fast nowadays? Lol.

@@fel1xxfel1xx60 Excuse me, but your are commenting on 4dr. ICE powered sedans! You won't find much in this class quicker / faster at their price point !

titopapi45 yes. and the weight of the taurus dosent help it either.

Steven C It was still faster

titopapi45 yeah something happens to the fusion at 80mph theres a weird lag or sloppy shift maybe not really sure

The SHO is crazy heavy (~4400lbs) but the Sport isn't much lighter (`4000lbs) despite being a midsize. The advantage the Sport has in weight, it loses in power.

Cj Bales kinda falls off.

Evan Hasson that’s what I thought 😂

The Taurus police cars in Iowa are the 3.7l v6. They have to run on E85 and the Ecoboost isn't set up for that from the factory.

alanhassall They also weigh 5000 ILBS compared to a stock Taurus. They aren’t that fast.

Yeah good luck catching me I'm my hemi

The quickest and fastest cop car is the Explorer (Taurus SUV)

Thank's !

I was really worried about Ford making the Fusion faster than the SHO, glad they didnt or that wouldve been a really dumb move.

And there more luxury

Definitely a sportier gauge cluster

I got two kids still got a stang over a sedan 😂😂😂

@@albertorenta congratulations! You are winning life

As someone who drives a sho I beat 5.0 all the time

I'm a single guy with no kids and got the sho. I couldn't afford insurance on the 5.0, a felony speeding ticket makes you extremely high risk I guess.

@@devinwayne89 your gonna smoke 5.0s any ways they’ll just violent spin trying to launch with you

Boostang honestly the 2018 and 19 mustang ecoboost has the same torque and only 15 less hp than the fusion sport, and weights a good bit less so it actually performs better

Fuck that! Give me a Mustang with the 3.5l!!!

Charlie Odom will never happen. 5.0 will be the top engine for mustang for foreseeable future.

@@alanthesalamander2327 I'm not saying get rid of the 5.0. Hell...I would love to see an even bigger motor in the Mustang. The 3.5l would be a very nice addition. Think of it the same way as a truck. Some people prefer the sound of a V8 (I do too), and others want the turbos (the reason why I went with the 3.5l). With the truck, you have both options, as well as a smaller turbo motor and an N/A 6 cylinder. The mustang should have more options than it does, and the 3.5l would be great to add.

Boostang I have a 13 Lincoln mks 3.5 the same car as the sho, and a 2.7 in my 16 f150 I’d take the 3.5 over the 2.7 any day.

That is very true.. it is sad times for the true gear head... BUT, I have been thinking the same thing about the SHO and still have my fingers crossed that we can get a new gen Taurus SHO with the 2nd Gen. ecoboost engine before they really go all the way and kill it off.

I'm sure they will tune down the TQ like they did on the last gen 3.5 ecoboost when going from f150 to Taurus the truck has 420 ft pounds on the first gen ecoboost and the Taurus has 350 just a thought

Old comment, but sadly the Taurus won’t use the 10 speed, it’s a rear wheel drive tranny and the Taurus is a FWD based AWD setup

That would be great but the problem is the cost would put it way out of my range.

Ford plans to discontinue the Ford Fusion, Taurus, and Fiesta in North America.

My 4 speed 2011 focus sedan slows around 80 as well, have to push hard and get momentum to get into 100's

Agreed and the Traction Control Light was on in the Fusion N not the Taurus🤔

@@gregorybowman4 That is an advantage to the Fusion Sport, so the SHO would have been even faster with traction control also off.

Yup !

thisisnalin I actually wasnt all that impressed when compared to the Sport

Both these are so lame. You guys needed to get Ford to Import the Australian Falcon. A full second faster to 60 and much much faster to 100. In either supercharged V8 or inline 6 turbo form. Both engines packing over 500hp.

For SHO! sorry I had to

The Ford dealership near where I live takes a brand new Mustang GT and bolts on a supercharger kit and exhaust. The car makes 670 HP when finished. No need to import anything.

That may be true. Some reviews of the Fusion Sport have it pegging 60 mph in about 5.1 seconds. That would equal or slightly beat the Taurus. Also the analog speedometers could be a bit off on either or both of them.

That's definitely true in my experience. They seem to limit power for break in. The three new Ecoboost vehicles I've driven didn't seem to really wake up until they got between 700-1000 miles on them.

I have the Titanium of the Fusion and while not as quick as the Sport, I do love the power the EcoBoost engines put out. Even when not using Sport Mode, when you hammer down that sucker will move.

Also figure the fusion was most likely on its free tank of fuel from the dealer. Which usually means 87 octane.

Not going to lie when i see kids driving in them little fiesta's a certain word comes to mind that starts with f and isnt P.C or allowed on youtube...

@@Soulintent95 try an ST. Probably the most fun you can have in a car with your pants on!

@@lancemannion4113 no need. I have the fusion with the f150 engine, dual eco boost AWD.

@@Soulintent95 sounds like a fun ride. But power is only one part of the equation. I can't say I've driven in a fusion Sport. But I can imagine it's a beautiful drive and Ford does have a pretty good reputation with suspension tuning. But there's a reason that the St is owned by more automotive journalists and press members than almost any other car in recent history. I've had 78 cars in my life and the only thing I can think of that comes close would be a Euro spec BMW M3 that I had. Or a 93 Porsche 968 with the mo30 (I think it was called?) suspension. The ST punches so far above its weight in handling it's almost stupid. More power would have been nice but it's entirely usable and it's got a lot of bottom end grunt so you don't really long for it. It's such a shame that Ford stop producing cars in North America other than the Mustang. When they focus on doing something right with their tuning division, nobody in North America can compete in my opinion.

Luke Hoisington Ford stopped selling the Taurus in the US but it did get redesigned for the China market. Look it up, 2017 Taurus.

emericaman16 No, the Taurus is currently still sold in the US.

Despite of the impressive performance and aggressive looks the Ford Taurus has, the sales aren't what Ford Motor Company expected, and, as a result, the 2017 Ford Taurus is in its final year of productions. However, Ford Motor Company didn't confirmed any discontinuation of the American market Taurus, the Ford Fusion Sport is an example of a possible obsolete of the Taurus SHO and the regular models from the Taurus lineup.

I love its design!

Kool Acclaimed™ while may be true but for will still manufacture the police interceptor variant, it is a great tool and has much more space than the fusion

Yep with Turbos they love the colder days. 80° is warm and would be more lag. Compared to when it would be chilly and the turbo would be crisp.

It accounts for about 7 tenths in the 1/8th mile, according to my last trip to the track.

Mile Chaser yeah a 2.3 ecoboost same as the focus RS

Dude I walked a ecoboost stand in a fusion se awd yesterday and the se I was driving is only a 2.0

@Country Boy never seen ice in september

@Country Boy only mustang that gets me are the 5.0s around me because most are built

even the perfomcance. eco boost is like 5.8 seconds to 60

You're welcome :) Yeah there hasn't been a lot of Fusion Sport videos come out.. I don't know why ?

my SHO is a Performance package with the shorter gears and stock would do the same as this non PP

AutoVlog i dont like black people

Jasneet Singh or how about just run them at the track and record the video.

Baha T the torgue is not enough of a difference to make a big change. you see the speeds are close pretty much up the RPM. but the 40hp keeps the Taurus ahead going up the speed.

Steven C Well I thought less weight also would make a difference. Granted, The Taurus has 40hp more, but 30lbs less torque, and as far as I know the higher the torque the faster your acceleration would be, generally speaking of course. Needless to say that i am disappointed, I expected more from the Fusion Sport.

This video does no justice for the fusion. Its normal 0-60 is around 5.2 and 1/4 around 13.6-13.9 from what I have seen.

It only has a little over 100 miles on the odometer. I'd want it to have more break in time before assuming it's an accurate number.

I have a Fusion, bone stock ran 13.6@99MPH. So yeah its definitely going slow.

You need tonuse 93 octane to get those results though.

Thank you !

Would love to have but cant afford which one, the sport or SHO? If its the latter, you'd be surprised how affordable a couple year old model is.

For a sedan with 325hp that is goddamn slow my 17 sienna destroys it top end

​@@aamirkazi1044no it doesn't you're on crack

I agree !

its piped in through the speakers... that 3.5 is so quiet all you hear is the turbos spinning up, so Ford put in artificial engine sound to make up for it

That is false for the SHO. No engine noise goes through the speakers, however Ford does do this with the Mustangs. The SHO has a 'sound amplifier' on the intake piping to make the engine sound louder in the cabin, though. Google 'SHO noise maker'. No fake noise here.

Ah, my mistake. Makes sense, they pipe it in for the F-150's 3.5 so I just assumed

Yea, that SHO sounded sexy.

WPGinterceptor people don't realize the sho in the late 80's was faster then the camaro 5.7L and the mustang 5.0L

definitely wasn't faster than the 5.7 Camaro or the 5.0 Mustang, BUT it was faster than the 5L Camaro!! that's for sure!! I was there and witnessed all the drag races at the track and on the streets! unfortunitly for the SHO they didn't build em very very and they rotted easily.. heck I don't remember them laster longer than 10 years ie: Taurus and tempos back then

WPGinterceptor we had this guy in our neighborhood and his sho was untouchable. He claims it was stock. So im judging by his car. You probably are correct sir.

read the specs on em for yourself.. they were an honest 0-60 in low 7 sec car! definitely not faster than the 5L stang Nor the 5.7 camaro.. but the 5L camaro was beatable! BUT CLOSE... remember this is late 80's where anything 7 sec or faster was incredibly fast!!!!

WPGinterceptor lol so true you ran 11'S in yhe 80's you where flying now its about the norm.

Bradley R yea I agree the fusion could push 4.8-5.3 to 60 because if they got the sho to run 5.0 flat to 60 and it could beat mustangs with the 5.0 the fusion should kill them all

There is not lag in 3rd gear that is torque converter lockup to provide maximum power. The RPMs "lag" but the MPH does not. In this case the transmission is asking more of the engine. Its a Ford thing.

Yep, every Ford does that. It's more noticeable in 4 or 5 speeds A/T, when you're going 0-top speed, after 3rd gear RPM's will drop about 300 rpms and that will be the torque converter locking up

Wayne Perry agreed. I have a 2015 F150 3.5 ecoboost with a good tune. 0-60 in 4.6 seconds!

Trey K slow

j hrk for a full size 4x4 pick up truck with a v6, that's very quick...hanging with sports cars yet can tow a 12,000 lbs trailer if needed.

Wayne Perry eat up tires with the AWD system ?

Spillow you still do get tire slip out of them. Watch a few more vids and you will see that.

and I couldn't be more sad that your prediction is correct :(

@@DL_Burga It wasn't a prediction, it was known for a while Ford would kill off their cars. What really surprises me is it seems to be happening in Europe as well, they didn't get a Focus RS this year and their Fusion died as well. Really is sad Ford is going this direction, I'd tske an updated SHO over the new Explorer ST any day. I don't need a damn SUV, I want a car that will handle better

@@BlueOvals24 agreed my friend... agreed

I like the look of the SHO. The front fascia/grille of the SE, SEL, and Limited are "blah" in my opinion, but the front of the SHO matches more closely to the Fusion and the rest of the Ford car lineup. The Taurus doesn't need to be as sporty as the Fusion is. They are two different cars and really two different markets. I would like to see them add a Platinum trim level as they did with the Fusion this year. I don't think it needs to be completely redesigned though and because of the government/law enforcement usage, I doubt we'll see a major redesign until closer to 2020. This is all coming from a Fusion Titanium owner by the way!

Jeremy Collins The sho doesn't need to be marketed. The fusion is like a Hyundai Elantra, advertised everywhere. The Taurus SHO is like the Genesis, not as much

Clorox Bleach just about every other model has changed every 3 years except the Taurus

chuck mate ahhhhh ha ha ha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that was priceless.

Haha, Sleeper....against what, a Honda Civic? The comparably priced Chevy SS 4-Door Sedan runs circles around these cars and is much roomier/more comfortable.

i agree 100%

My 2017 fusion sport did about 5.2 stock after 2k miles so yeah let’s see this matchup after the fusion isn’t neutered.... lighter car and more torque

450$

And still drives better than a '13 and up. Mine has bluetooth, mtx and a klze

Sitting in a 1.6l 2014 as I'm replying. So yes. Steering feels sharper, brakes are snappier. The overall experience is better in the Probe though. Driven an 07, 08, 10, 11, 13, 14. Have you driven a Probe GT? 90's cars were great.

Fuel economy is close enough to the 4 cyl Fusion, with a 23 year old 6 cyl too. Check out my test drive video, if you want to hear it.

Sure glad they did not call it a Mustang!

My Mustang is what brought me back to the Probe. If they'd made it rwd and used Mazdas better engine the Mustang would not be here today. They could have used Rx7 or Miata rwd parts. That being said, the Mustang now gets compared to the Vette and I'd take a gt350r with carbon fiber rims over a z06

They're leaving it exclusive to Lincoln for now to try and draw some sales. Eventually I see it being an option in fords. I could even see it in a future mustang.

Andrew B It would be a great engine for the mustang hybrid they're planning.

Ewie M they're phasing out the Taurus in general that's why they're not in proving it as far as the sport goes it's possible and as for the mustang I doubt it

It's actually a 15 but there is not difference between the two model years regarding performance.

are you sure the Taurus here is stock? the shifts sure look fast for stock to me. mine were a lot slower and tended to hang pre tune.

What year? My 2011 hangs a bit, but there is no sport mode. The shifts are a bit faster/smoother in sport.

You have a strange definition of the word "close"

lol yeah, i saw that.

Three words: Power to Weight.

It is..

The 3.5L probably has a flatter torque curve and therefore should be able to reach the peak hp more easily.

Those cars have a flat power curve it seems
