When you’re looking for a vehicle that offers plenty of power for a spirited drive, Ford has six performance vehicles ready to give you the ride of a lifetime. From a powerful truck to a streamlined sports car, Ford has something for everyone to enjoy.
Ford GT
The Ford GT is a sleek and modern sports car designed to offer a thrilling ride. It comes with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine that offers an impressive 647 horsepower. You can lower the vehicle’s ride height by around 50 millimeters to improve its aerodynamics and drop its center of gravity for better performance on the track. Plus, everything from its teardrop-shaped body to its rear wing was built to provide an extra boost in handling and capabilities.
Ford Focus RS
The enthusiast community helped design some of the modifications on the exciting Ford Focus RS. The 2018 model has exclusive features that include carbon fiber accents on the inside, black mirror caps, a black spoiler, and special wheel center caps. The hatchback comes with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that provides 350 horsepower. The vehicle also comes with four different driving modes, including Drift and Track, which can give you even better performance on the course.
Ford Focus ST
Another performance vehicle in the Focus lineup is the Ford Focus ST. Not only does this hatchback offer eye-catching design, it also comes with plenty of exciting power. You’ll enjoy a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that generates 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. Climb inside and you’ll also find everything you need for a comfortable drive. The smart SYNC technology helps you stay connected on the road, and the available heated leather seats and steering wheel give you the ultimate comfort on those cold days.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350
The Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is a classic performance vehicle with heart-pounding power. The 5.2-liter V-8 engine gives you 526 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. When you’re ready to hit the track, the flat-bottom steering wheel offers comfortable grip for better handling and control, and the Track Apps gives you instant information on your performance metrics in the 4.2-inch message center.
Ford F-150 Raptor
Sometimes performance isn’t how well you handle the track; it’s about how well you can take on the back roads. With the Ford F-150 Raptor, those off-road adventures are just waiting for you to explore. You’ll enjoy a 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost engine and 10-speed transmission that provides an incredible 450 horsepower. Plus, if you ever find yourself needing more traction, you can deflate the available beadlock-capable wheels for even more control.
Ford Fiesta ST
Climb inside the Ford Fiesta ST and you’ll discover a hatchback that offers a 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine that delivers 197 horsepower and 202 pound-feet of torque. The Fiesta ST also comes standard with AdvanceTrac, which automatically modulates torque and applies the brakes if it detects slipping wheels for better control.
