Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost 181

The Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost 181 reaches 60 mph in 8.18 s (100 km/h in 8.71 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.36 s, tripping the lights at 85.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.55 s and the eighth mile in 10.53 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost 181

The 2018 Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost 181 is a front-drive turbocharged saloon of 1,575 kg with 178 bhp, which works out at 113 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.55 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,859th quickest to 60 mph, and the 218th quickest of the 789 Fords here. Its 85.0 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost 181 0-60 time?
The Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost 181 reaches 60 mph in 8.18 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,859th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost 181 quarter mile time?
16.36 s at 85.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.53 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.55 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost 181 have?
178 bhp and 1,575 kg, which is 113 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 214 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost 181?
Closest here on pace: Opel Astra Sedan 1.8 16V 125 (8.19 s), Volvo 245 2.1 Turbo 155 (8.16 s), Cadillac Catera 3.0 V6 200 (8.15 s). Each one can be raced against the Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost 181 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ford Fusion 1.5 EcoBoost 181 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
