Bizuce Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Any chance I can get 300 hp on the corsair? Call me silly, but that's all I want after seeing how great it's looking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape was also 200 lbs lighter, so I'd imagine Corsair will be lighter too. Also, I don't think this was posted here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already 300 in the 2020 explorer. 310 in the mustang and 350 in the focus RS. I'm sure then can hit 300 in the Corsair if they really want or need it.

Also, I don't think this was posted here My pessimism makes me think the only way Ford achieved the 200 lb drop was by switching to the 3 - cylinder version and like for like power train options likely have similar weights. Hopefully I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Considering the competition vulturing around it, 300Hp should be do-able for them with the 2.3L. Again, if they wish to lead...If they wish to follow, then watch it stay the same. They have options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are currently 3 versions - longitudinal (mustang/explorer), transverse std output (Corsair, etc.), transverse HO (Focus RS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you jump up in the AMG Merc or M series BMW, no one comes close to the torque figures the current 2.3EB puts out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to mention the Ranger. ? Its output is different than the Mustang or Explorer. Edited April 4, 2019 by CurtisH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s right - they did change it up for Ranger - sort of a cross between the mustang and focus RS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - only the 2.7L and 3.5L ecoboosts and only in the truck/suv versions not the transverse versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
