EcoBoost Technology — Description
Ford Motor Company is introducing a new technology called EcoBoost that will deliver up to 20 percent better fuel economy on half a million Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles annually in North America during the next five years. The EcoBoost family of 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines features turbocharging and direct injection technology. Compared with more expensive hybrids and diesel engines, EcoBoost builds upon today’s affordable gasoline engine and improves it, providing more customers …
I doubt it was the 335i.
They run 0-60 in the low 5’s high 4’s even with the automatic…
The MKS looks great in this video. I can’t wait until Ford puts this engine into the MKS, along with the new Taurus SHO, Fusion, ect..
great tech… any idea if it’s coming out on the 2010 fusion considering the fusion, milan, and mks are basically the exact same car.
do you know which chevy cars have this type of engine
Ford was just recognized as being in a statistical dead heat with Honda and surpassing Toyota in quality. I think you are only seeing the beginning for this company. Mulally has them cranking out very high quality product and there new entries look pretty sharp.
You do know that ford owns mazda right?
ECOBOOST!!
What a joke!!!
Notice that the car engine is still above 300 HP too. You don’t need that for speed if you have the right power to weight ratio ; but they will never change: or at lest change in time to save some American Jobs!! No wonder Ross Perot quit General Motors after they would’t listen to him as to what was going to happen to the the American car industry if they didn’t change. Fire every single manager and start from scratch with the engineers in charge!!
No he’s talking petrol (gasoline) direct injection. VW have had it for years now on Golf and other models. Golf GTi is Direct injection gasoline tubo and has been on the market for almost 4 years. It has been available on some mainstream models from Japan without turbocharging since 1996 then spreading through the world. It’s a great technology, just not a brand new amazing one…
yeah Mazda and Chevy already are using this sort of technology. Good to see Ford using it too, but Fords US cars are lame vs what they sell in Europe.
Concordo 100% !!!…..
From GM yes. Which Ford twimcam 32 valve engine is the old tech one?
So it took them this long to figure out the advantages of forced induction x3 Anyway isn’t Chevy’s ecotec the same thing O.o other then that I think Chevy only makes them as inline 4s. Good to see that American car manufactures are taking a step in the right direction at least.
Audi/VW is using that stuff in TFSI engines since 2004.
This a gasoline Direct injection
I think you are talking about diesel
What you people are failing to see is that this is going to be mainstream. In EU or japan its only available to select cars. The DI with turbo will be offered in all of Ford’s vehicles.
Yet you enjoy our AMERICAN Youtube.
your an idiot
The Mini Cooper already has Turbo, Direct injection, electric steering etc. from a 1.6L engine. This is already availble. As usual the US market is behind.
Cool! Really need to drive one of those MKSs – mean looking machine! A Taurus would be cool – a Fusion w/ 6-spd even cooler!
Sounds Good!….
What is the estemated price?
All these years when Japanese cars are ruling the roost with their fuel efficient cars, Ford and GM produced gas guzzlers. Now that their debt equity ratio is gone very high, suddenly they realised the need to develop fuel efficient cars. By the time these cars become popular, there may not be much oil left. America’s share in the world oil consumption is 25% but share in reserves is just 3%.
Great to see the progress. No doubt Ford has been working on this a while in order to roll it out now.
So, this is basically what we have in Europe for years already? Realising that your V8’s aren’t that modern and hardly changed since the 60’s..
Ford I’m begging you to bring back the SHO. I promise I will buy one.
