akirby Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Pardon my ignorance but I would someone tell me what Eco Boost is? It's the new name for Ford's line of TTGDI engines - Twin Turbo, Gasoline Direct Injection. The first application is for a 3.5L version for the Lincoln MKS and Taurus next spring producing 340-350 hp. A premium/E-85 version can top out at 415 hp. V8 performance with V6 fuel economy. There are also rumors that the F150 will get a version as well as the mustang. There is also a 2.5L version producing 270 hp (V6 power at I4 fuel economy) rumored for the Fusion (at some point). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that HP is nice but will they require premium fuel? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so - that's one reason the production power levels are much lower than the concept vehicles. But Ford hasn't confirmed it one way or the other yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
