Ford - Engine - EcoBoost Family

Prior Blog Posts by Date

This is a subset of Ford Motor Corporation topics, pertaining solely to the engines known by the marketing term "EcoBoost". This marketing grouping consists of otherwise unrelated 4 and 6 cylinder engines. They share variable valve timing, direct injection, and turbocharging technologies - all to the the point of providing economy, emissions, and performance from less displacement and cylinders. The family was originally known as "TwinForce".

 Ford EcoBoost Technology video
 

Speaking of the Ford EcoBoost technology, Ford has thoughtfully provided this YouTube video covering the upcoming twin-turbo V-6 Duratec. It's targeted to produce 340 HP and 340 lb-ft of torque. It will be found first in the Lincoln MKS, and later in a wider range of vehicles including the Taurus. 

Note the timeline that is shown... several other interesting facts there including an upcoming dual-clutch transmission. It's unclear which market he is talking about for the transmission, it's already known that it will be offered in Europe. Perhaps it will start here as an option in the upcoming Verve, followed by the (finally!) European Focus?
