Inside The Mustang's New 10 Speed Transmission

[VoodooBoss]

It seems like we've been hearing about this FOREVER but we're getting closer. With some luck we might see this in the 2017 cars.

FWIW the 0-60 acceleration difference between a BMW 328I and Fusion both with 2.0 Turbo engines is over a second and the difference is mostly the 8 speed ZF trans in the BMW. This should close that gap completely. Imagine a 240 HP Fusion doing 0-60 in 5.5 seconds on the way to the grocery store! I can't wait. 8)

coming from my Fusion frame of reference, which is my Fusion Energi, that's hard to imagine. ;-)
I do dig the silent cruising of the Energi...along with the CVT when in hybrid mode. It's a pretty cool vehicle really...and the Fusion platform is a great-riding vehicle. (the green carpool stickers on it don't hurt, either)
My wife's '15 Edge Sport, also built on the Fusion platform, is a great package...that 2.7l ecoboost has some serious kick. I could see a Fusion 'ST' with 4wd and that motor...that would be a nice ride.
