That is a good looking car! Wonder if that is the ST model? The offset intercooler looks kinda funny from the front

I spy, with my little eye, an intercooler.

"An un-camouflaged 2017 Ford Fusion EcoBoost was spotted ahead of its 2016 Detroit auto show debut. Our spy photographer caught the refreshed midsize sedan heading back to the automaker’s Dearborn test track.

Fortunately, the 2017 Fusion was stopped at a red light long enough to get these pictures. From the images, we can see a more angular oval-ish grille that replaces the current car’s Aston Martin-style grille. The new chrome grille frame features a black mesh insert in lieu of the current grille’s horizontal chrome bars. The lower fascia features a more aggressive central air intake that gets wider toward the bottom.

Like the redesigned projector headlights, the new LED foglights are also more aggressive. While the side profile is mostly unchanged from the current model, the refresh brings a minor redesign to the taillights.

Along with the 2017 Ford Fusion sedan’s mid-cycle refresh, we expect a more performance-oriented Fusion ST model to arrive for the 2017 model year. That model could be powered by a version of the Ford Focus RS hatchback’s turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 or the newer twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 found in the new F-150 pickup and Edge Sport crossover."

2017 Ford Fusion gets 325-hp Sport model with AWD

"To go along with the expected visual tweaks and equipment updates for its mid-cycle refresh, the Ford Fusion is expanding its lineup for 2017 with the addition of two new trim levels, Sport and Platinum. We’re most excited about the new, performance-oriented 2017 Ford Fusion V6 Sport, even if it’s not the full-bore Fusion ST we were hoping for.

The Fusion V6 Sport (pictured) is powered by Ford’s 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6, which routes its 325 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Ford isn’t yet providing any performance estimates, but the Fusion sure does have a lot more power than other V-6 options in the midsize sedan segment like the 278-hp Honda Accord, the 268-hp Toyota Camry, and the 270-hp Nissan Altima. The Fusion Sport will be more expensive than its competitors, though, with a starting price of $34,350 with destination—the Camry, Accord, and Altima V-6 models start between $28,000-$32,000".
