I would like the new fusion 2013 to have the option to add turbo to the brand new engine: Available plug-in hybrid electric 2.0L I-4 Atkinson-cycle engine. Coupled with electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT) and high-voltage electric motor. Finally, this would boost horsepower throughput while keeping the miles per gallon the same.
