Times are now changing... raw power, economy, internal combustion extinction... Mark Fields - Executive Vice President at Ford confirmed that clients will see gas burning and piston pumping engines 20 years at least from now. There is still lots of technological advancement and development to be done, 1 of Ford's reasons is the new EcoBoost V6 model. 'We are committed to delivering fuel economy leadership in every new vehicle' affirmed Derrick Kuzak, the group vice president - Global Product Development for Ford. 'We do this with affordable technology that can be applied to the widest number of vehicles. EcoBoost is an important component of that goal'.

'The beauty of EcoBoost is that it enables us to downsize for fuel efficiency, yet boost for power. We’re able to decrease the size of the available engine – such as installing a V-6 versus a V-8 – yet boost the power using turbocharging to deliver similar power and torque of that larger engine'.

The American carmaker Lincoln announced the EcoBoost engine runs 2010 MKS. So, by 2013, Ford - Lincoln’s parent firm, will use the same fuel-efficient factory in over 90 percent of their cars. The V6 3.5 Liter EcoBoost found on the all-wheel-drive Lincoln MKS 2010 will make 355 HP plus 350 ft-lb torque, all of this being on regular grade of gasoline. Its twin turbocharged six cylinder gets a V8 output, returning a 17 MPG (minimum) in town plus 24 MPG at least on highway driving. 'We’re delighted with how well the Lincoln MKS has been received. Customers have really responded to the vehicle’s balanced combination of luxury, comfort and performance' said Pete Reyes, the chief nameplate engineer. 'Adding the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 is another great enhancement to our luxury sedan. We now can deliver V-8 power without sacrificing fuel economy'.


The V6 3.5-liter EcoBoost of the all-wheel-drive Lincoln MKS 2010 makes 355 horsepower - 5,500 rpm, 350 ft.-lb. torque starting from 1,500 up to 5,250 rpm able to live on regular fuel. Lincoln MKS having EcoBoost delivers 17 mpg city at least and 24 mpg highway at least. 'Our EcoBoost engines offer more power and better fuel economy' said Brett Hinds, the EcoBoost design manager. 'It’s all part of Ford’s strategy to bring adaptable powertrain technology to all kinds of vehicles and all kinds of lifestyles. This technology is affordable and applicable to all gasoline engines'.

'Another benefit of our direct-injection method is that it cools the air right where you’re going to burn it' said Hinds. 'This action both improves the breathing of the engine and minimizes knocking'. 'Because the fuel is directly introduced into the combustion chamber, you don’t get fuel wetting the combustion wall like with port fuel injection, you don’t saturate the ports and you don’t get droplets that might recombine and add to saturation. By injecting fuel directly into the combustion chamber and under high pressure, the fuel can be directed to exactly where we want it to be for a given combustion cycle. The better combustion process is a big advantage of direct injection. In a port fuel system, at key off it’s possible to have fuel on the walls of the intake port, which migrates to the top of the valve and puddles. So when you key on, you get that emissions spike. Direct injection is much cleaner from that standpoint'.
