What performance models does Ford make?

Ford is a brand that’s been around the block. They know cars, they know how to make them, and they know how to make them go fast. What performance models does Ford make? There’s a lot, and we will run through all of them currently on offer today. Trust us when we say, that there are more to come.

Ford performance trucks

To prove the Ford is all about performance, they even make a performance truck with the Ford F-150 Raptor. With a twin-turbocharged V6, 450 horsepower, and 510 pound-feet of torque, this thing becomes an off-roading monster. The Ford Ranger is also expected to get a Raptor version of its own.

Believe it or not, Ford currently offers 3 performance hatchbacks. It starts with the smaller Fiesta ST which gives you 197 horsepower in a tight little package for 2018. For 2019, the Fiesta ST will be all-new and offer even more power and performance.

Not to be outdone, the larger Focus has two performance models of its own. It starts with the Focus ST that delivers 252 horsepower with 270 pound-feet of torque. The Ford Focus RS is even more insane with all-wheel drive, 350 horsepower, and 350 pound-feet of torque.

The Mustang is arguably the first performance-oriented car that Ford ever built, and now, over 50 years later, they are still building them. With more performance than ever before the entire Mustang lineup is ready to tear down a track.

Two models take that Mustang formula to the extreme. They are the Mustang Shelby GT350 and the Mustang Shelby GT350R, and both deliver 526 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque with their V8 engines.

There are few American automakers that make dedicated supercars. The Chevy Corvette isn’t quite there, and the Dodge Challenger can be beaten by the Mustang. Because of this, the Ford GT stands in a class all its own.

It’s not just a streetcar. It’s a race-winning racecar too. With a race-driven design and 647 horsepower thrumming out of its twin-turbocharged V6, this is a supercar without compromises.
