Top 10 Torque Titans of America

City Car: Ford Fiesta EcoBoost

Ford has stuffed every single car it builds with a turbocharged engine, and the Fiesta’s little 1.0-liter EcoBoost makes more torque than any other tiny American car at 148 lb-ft. The Fiesta’s 1.0-liter is also one of the very few three cylinder engines currently on the market. And at 123 hp, this little engine holds nearly the same displacement-to-horsepower ratio as the Ferrari 458 Italia and Porsche 911.
