Basically, they used all the methods that sports car and supercar companies like Porsche, Ferrari, and Koenigsegg use to make their insane dream machines shoot you into warp speed, and put them on a Ford Fusion.
Sounds far less fun, but kind of sounds like somewhere between the Gen1 Insight and the XL-1, without the aero.

So what you end up getting is a Ford Fusion that is much more fun to throw around, plus it gets the same gas mileage as the Fiesta, with up to 45 MPG on the highway.
The Fusion is 58.2 inches tall and 191.8 inches long. The Fiesta is 58.1 inches tall and 173.5 inches tall. Being 0.17% taller and 10.54% longer, it should inherently be more aerodynamic, although it is 83.5 inches wide, compared to 67.8 (23%!), but 45 MPG for a non-hybrid car with that much interior room is awesome!

What could they do with the Fiesta?
