CHECK OUT THE HD VERSION!!! www.youtube.com 2011 Ford Ironman World Championship
Video showing information and high resolution images of the all-new 2013 Ford Fusion. It will be available in S, SE, and Titanium trims and will be full of technology. Myfordtouch infotainment system will be available as well as driver aids such as adaptive cruise control, a lane keeping system with drowsy driving detection, blind spot monitoring, hill start assist, and active park assist. There will be three powertrain options. A 2.5L inline-4 170 hp 170 tq with a 6 speed auto, a 1.6L ecoboost 4 cylinder 179 hp 172 tq with a 6 speed auto or 6 speed manual, and a 2.0L ecoboost 4 cylinder 237 hp 250 tq with a 6 speed auto. Front wheel drive is standard but the Fusions with the 2.0 ecoboost can be had with all wheel drive. It’s expected to have best in class fuel economy with the 1.6L ecoboost expected to achieve 26 mpg city and 37 mpg highway while the 2.0L ecoboost should net around 23 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. For more fuel economy Ford is offering a Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi. The Fusion Hybrid’s total output is around 185hp and 130tq delivered through a cvt transmission and is expected to achieve 47mpg city and 44mpg highway, easily besting the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and getting close to Prius numbers. Ford says the Fusion Hybrid will be able to operate at up to 62mph without even having spin the engine. The Fusion Energi has the same core powerplant as the hybrid but with a plug-in hybrid system. It’s expected to achieve up to 100 mpge …
looks like I just added 1 hour 5 minutes to my spin session routine. Thank you very much!
@lettisnet You’re right: drafting is not legal in Ironman racing. However, it is legal to ride in a non-drafting group; and there are strengths in doing that. Instead of holding back to save energy for the run, a group can more confidently gamble on riding faster. This tactic worked perfectly, as Alexander could not keep the pace on the bike, and he was never able to catch the leaders on the run. Macca, who orchestrated the attack, is a crafty racer and a student of the sport.
IMPRESIONANTE, esto es la superación humana.
Can anyone explain, why the ‘teamwork’ they mention around 0:25:00 was so important to beat Craig Alexander? As far as I know, riding in someone’s shadow is forbidden in an Ironman triathlon. Was it just for holding the pace? Psychological? Both?
@13:00 touch my heart, and make me stand more strong…
THIS CHALLENGE IS LIKE BEEN ON A OLYMPIC GAMES,JUST THIS IS HARDER 1000 TIMES.THIS PEOPLE IS BEYOND AND ABOVE US,SIMPE PEOPLE..I;VE ENJOY IN THIS VIDEO,TNX…

Thanks for posting this!!! I just spent an hour searching NBC Universal’s and the Ironman website. Wanted to watch it… but not all 18 hours! Thanks!
@145rupert Yeah people need to not say Ford copied Aston. That’s definitely not the case here.
@bigvirgotube yep it looks great!
Its a beautiful car. Some of the Ford haters (my first car was a Ford and my second and third were Honda’s but I am open minded) out there keep calling it a Aston Martin copy cat. Yeah there is some resemblance but any of you that have been around for awhile should remember what the front end of a 1967 Ford Thunder Bird looked like before you accuse Ford of not being able to create innovative style on its own. Check it out. Smile.
Im not against ford actually 2 friends of mine bought one different years abd. Ever had problens. I always had bmw in my life but bimer cycle iscoming to a end. Still have an x5 v8 but it keeps breaking down and i cant dp nothing .. This fusion reminds me of the xf premium jaguar … Lol !
Moro no Brazil e tenho um FUSION 2010… I liked very much the new model and I`ll wait for it next year…
Ford utilized their time when they owned Aston Martin–this Fusion is pretty hot looking. But I won’t be buying anything new any time soon–got a Mazda 5 to pay for.
@Jmaltz9 Only the front end looks like an Aston Martin, the rest looks like a cross between the focus and the Taurus, and yeah Ford owned Aston Martin.
@Jmaltz9 Eh while it does have some Aston Martin styling cues (remember Ford owned Aston Martin up until recently), the car doesn’t look like an Aston Martin by any means.
Lol ford cant come up with their own design so they go copy aston martin
@checkthisoutman1000 Haha yeah the front end does have some Aston Martin styling cues. Looks good in my opinion!
What is this? The new Aston Martin?
@madmax0251 Yeah the current fusion is a great car and now with the new one it’s really exceptional.
Great job ford!
I own a 2011 base fusion with the Sync/moonroof as the only added options.
I love the car and was amazed by the features and price then. Now ford has really got it. I’ll never go back to Chevy or foreign market.
@DarthNefatious how does it look cheap? And what do you mean inferior Chevy Volt like internals?
@SNLGUY I highly doubt it. I’m 6’3″ and fit fine in my parents’ 2010 fusion, even in three back seat. I’m sure you’d be fine in the new model.
Will this be a cramped car for someone 6 ft 3 in tall and 240 lbs ?
Thanks to Ford Europe’s Mondeo specs & nothing like the last Fusion out of Detroit… The ENERGI and Titanium with all the tech goodies will probably be priced out of reach though…. BTW what video; the pic slideshow with audio? LMAO
Look’s like a CHEAP knock of off the Tesla Model S. With inferior Chevy Volt like internals.
@CrayKray haha well thank youuuu
your voice is so sexy!
@gr8phuk That is the miles per gallon the car gets when the gasoline engine starts, but the Volt can operate on just battery power for 25-50 miles depending on different factors. That’s why its called MPGe, miles per gallon equivalent. Thanks for your question!
If I’m not mistaken, the Chevy Volt gets 40 MPGe and not “8 more” than this car, since this car is from what you’ve stated, “100 MPGe for the plug in hybrid.”
Please correct me if I’m incorrect. Thanks!
@TaurusSHO97 haha yep! i definitely like the looks of this a lot more than the prius, and the hybrid gets fairly close gas mileage
Now the clowns who buy the Prius have no excuse to buy that ugly thing over the Fusion.
