When you’re looking for a thrilling drive, Ford has a variety of cars that offer adrenalin-inducing power and exciting handling. These vehicles will have you wanting to take the long way home to prolong the driving pleasure. Here are four of the fastest Fords for 2019.
Ford Fiesta ST
For big thrills in a small package, the Fiesta ST is a good-looking hatchback that packs a punch. It features Ford’s turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine that delivers 197 horsepower and 202 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels. A slick shifting six-speed manual transmission keeps you firmly in control of the power.
Whether you’re zipping around the city or heading out on the highway, the Fiesta is fun to drive and offers nimble handling. It can take you from 0 to 62 mph in 6.5 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 144 mph. Its unique sports suspension and torque vectoring control help to keep you on track on the windiest roads. 2019 is the Fiesta’s final year.
Ford Edge ST
If you need more space and versatility, but without sacrificing power, the Edge ST is an SUV with attitude. It also has the 2.7-liter V-6 turbo that delivers 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. It’s mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The Edge ST has a 0 to 60 mph time of 5.7 seconds and its top speed is limited to 133 mph. Electronic stability control, traction control, curve control, torque vectoring control, and the intelligent all-wheel drive system keeps you glued to your seat while you enjoy the driving.
Ford Fusion V-6 Sport
The 2019 Fusion V-6 Sport has the appearance of a mild-mannered family sedan, but under the surface is a turbocharged 2.7-liter V-6 engine that pumps out 325 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. It’s paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters for controlled gear changes.
Acceleration to 60 mph takes a little over 5 seconds and the V-6 Sport tops out at 155 mph. To handle the power, it features electronic suspension damping that softens or stiffens the suspension as needed. All-wheel drive is standard.
Ford Mustang
For legendary muscle car motoring, the Mustang is at the peak of its class and the Bullitt has a style of its own.
