2009 is the year of the Ford’s Ecoboost era. The brand new twin-turbocharged of 3.5-liter V6 has found its way and will be under the Lincoln MKS and MKT hoods. The twin-turbocharger will also be used for the Ford Taurus and Ford Flex. The blown six can deliver excellent V8 performance with V6 fuel economy. But it can go up on the highway mileage. Ford was hoping in the past to solve that by delivering a four-cylinder version to this engine. And now Ford has officially sent out the news that they have launched into production the new 2.0-liter four-cylinder Ecoboost variant. It will be capable of more than 230 hp and also 240 lb-ft of torque. The drivers will have great V6 performance with four-pot fuel economy. The engine has also applications for cars and trucks too. Inside Line said today that the Ford reps stated the first application of the 2.0-liter Ecoboost will not necessarily be in a car. Still, we think the 2011 Ford Explorer is a probable candidate. There are even rumors that say the engine will be under the hood of Mustang too, making it cost efficient.
More news on this subject will appear when the fall auto show season starts.
