Ford Fusion T5 von MRT
One of the cars, that were unveiled on unique automobile showing called SEMA Auto Show was Ford Fusion T5. It was taken under the “tuning-scalpel“ by Austrian company MRT. Mark T5 may seem strange to somebody, but in fact it’s simple. “T” - because in Fusion there is turbo. And “5“, because it has five speed automatic transmission. Both turbo and transmission were implanted by company MRT.
Automobile Ford Fusion looks quite good even in stock version. It is very spacious and at the same time stable on the road, which are also words of MRT’s president Scott Hoag. Therefore engineers in MRT wanted to preserve DNA of the stock car. They wanted to stiffen the car and improve its attributes in order to make the car look like some kind of express.
Company MRT has changed this popular American sedan to a unique machine. In order to create a roar under Fusion’s hood, they installed Turbo of company Garret into a 3.0 V6 engine with all wheel drive. T5 looks great thanks to its body kit. Hood was made by MRT but bumpers and fender aprons are made by company 3dCarbon body kit. This is how MRT declared war on BMW. “The game begins and we are going to win“, Hoag said.
The gentlemen in MRT wanted to preserve the original interior. Fusion’s interior is beautiful and comfortable. It is very tidy and of nice material. Now, only a few important technological tools have to be installed. First, 8.5 inch touch display was added which enables mobile internet connection, Bluetooth technology, navigation system and DVD system.
All of these technologies amplify the pleasure of drive. Also the stock stereo system remained, however two amplifiers by company Rockford Fosgate and eight speakers were added. For more powerful basses, one subwoofer was also built in. This set floods whole interior with high-class sound.
Hoag says that Fusion T5 is going to catch customer’s attention for sure.

The aim if MRT Company is to become well-known as a strong competitor to BMW. They have focused on age-group between 30 and 40 years. That means on people that usually cannot afford BMW but want to reach the feeling of having a powerful and luxurious car all at once. All this can provide just Ford Fusion T5.
