The engine builders at Roush Yates have announced they're developing Ford's twin-turbo V6 Ecoboost to run in the 2011 American LeMans Series LMP2 class inside Lola chassis. Wait. Production-based engines being used in high-performance racing? That's unpossible. [Gas2] More »

The thing with the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO is that, while it's pretty fast, it's also pretty docile. Mobsteel set out to fix that with an extra 90 hp, 147 lb-ft of torque, and a mess of billet aluminum. More »

The intercooler in this spy photo is a peek at the 400 hp, 400 lb-ft twin-turbocharged V6 Ecoboost-powered F-150. It's almost as much power as Ford's 411 hp 6.2-liter V8 and will offer a rumored 23 MPG. [Pickuptrucks.com] More »

Ford's EcoBoost engine line uses turbochargers and direct injection to match the performance of much larger engines while returning better fuel economy. Good luck getting that point across to Mike Barnacle and Morning Joe, Mr. LeBeau. More »

Ford's EcoBoost engines promise higher performance while simultaneously providing higher fuel economy. To prove it, they took us out to the drag strip with a Taurus SHO-ish Lincoln MKS EcoBoost and Ford Flex EcoBoost to go head-to-head with some "competition." They certainly raised a few eyebrows.

Today we made our way over to Ford's Beech Daly Technical Center, a nondescript building along the Dearborn side roads which houses what is, for lack of a better term, Ford's engine skunk works. Capable of doing everything from rapid-prototyped vinyl intakes to turning out fully functioning engines, the tech center is where all Ford's engines go to get the bugs worked out. Our mission was to get to know the 3.5-liter Ford EcoBoost on a nuts-and-bolts level by putting one together ourselves. More »

Automotive News is speculating that Ford's highly anticipated EcoBoost twin-turbocharged, direct-injected V6 will cost about $700 over the standard powerplant when it's released as an option for the Lincoln MKS and Ford Flex next year. While Ford didn't release output numbers or mileage expectations for the initial applications, they are saying that pickup versions of the EcoBoost V6 will produce "significantly more" than 340 HP and 340 lb-ft of torque while returning 20% better mileage than an equivalent V8. Just don't call it a Twinforce. [AutoNews(Sub. Req.)] More »
