Ford produces vehicles fit for every type of driver, and that includes drivers who like to have the best engines and high-performance parts under the hood. However, even drivers looking for performance have different needs and wants. Ford offers performance trims and options throughout its vehicle lineup to meet the various needs of these drivers.
Fiesta ST
The Fiesta ST is the performance trim of Ford’s subcompact car. Compacts and subcompacts are popular among racers, thanks to their low starting cost and nimble handling. Another advantage is that the replacement parts and mods are relatively inexpensive. The Fiesta ST gives racers a head start on their fully modded car by including things like sport front seats with bold colors and ST branding, a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 197 horsepower, sport-tuned suspension, and advanced Electronic Stability Control with Torque Vectoring Control.
F-150 Raptor
The F-150 Raptor is a performance trim for the most popular truck line in America. The F-150 Raptor is a full-size pickup and is not meant to behave like a sport car. Instead, it has amazing performance on off-road courses. The Raptor has a lifted frame to give it a steeper angle of approach and ramp breakover angle. It also comes with a unique engine that delivers 75 more horsepower and 40 more pound-feet of torque than the next-best engine, and that is despite having the same size and cylinder count.
Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT350R
For many people, the Ford Mustang is the classic example of a muscle car, and Ford has been producing them continuously since the 1960s. Low-end Mustang models are surprisingly affordable and still give you that Mustang feel. However, if you want the best Mustang around, then the Shelby models are your best option. The GT350 comes with a powerful engine, sport seats, and the famous Shelby Cobra on the front. Ford made the GT350R ready for serious racing by adding carbon-fiber parts and dropping many accessories to make the vehicle as light as possible.
GT
If you want a top-notch performance vehicle and money is no object, then you should have a look at the Ford GT. This vehicle cut its teeth with Ford’s racing team, and comes with things like a largely carbon-fiber and aluminum body, a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that delivers 647 horsepower, and a body design perfected in a wind tunnel. If you want the absolute best performance Ford can offer, you should see if you can get yourself a GT.
Ford’s performance lineup includes all the vehicles you would expect and more. If driving means more to you than getting to your job, dropping off your kids, and picking up groceries from the store, then a Ford performance vehicle might be just the thing you need to feel the road and get the most speed out of every curve. Whether you choose a compact car, sports car, supercar, or pickup truck, just remember to drive safely while you’re sharing the road.
