The old journalism saw says when you assume, you make an ass out of "u" and "me." Yet plenty of people have assumed that Ford's torrid love affair with turbocharged engines would eventually grow to include the Mustang, even though Ford itself has refrained from saying so. Thanks to one enterprising college student, we can stop assuming. More »

You've seen the engine, now here's the complete Ecoboost-powered Ford F-150 for the first time. I'm sure the burnout is standard pickup truck driving and has nothing to do with convincing F-150 loyalists to trust a twin-turbo V6. [PickupTrucks.com] More »

We've seen bits of evidence that Volvo's future powertrain strategy will incorporate both diesel engines and hybrid drivetrains, but Automotive News now provides more detail on Volvo's evolving propulsion plans. Larger sedans and SUVs will be targeted first, with their V8 engines replaced by a diesel five-cylinder engine powering the front wheels and an electric motor driving the rear wheels. Magnus Jonsson, Volvo's senior VP of R&D also said "a plug-in variant will come 'very quickly' after the initial hybrid arrives. While big Volvos will see major changes, smaller Volvos will also be receiving mileage-enhancing technologies. More »

According to our friends at PickupTrucks.com, Ford is developing an engine which might offer a powerful alternative to diesels at a lower price. Codenamed Bobcat, the gasoline-powered engine allegedly begins with Ford's EcoBoost architecture and then, with the help of ethanol injection, goes places turbocharged engines can't normally venture. By using a secondary set of injectors to shoot ethanol from a separate tank into the combustion chamber, compression ratios can be drastically raised without pre-ignition, thus boosting fuel economy another 10 percent and overall power output quite a bit — think 500 HP and 700 lb-ft of torque from a five-liter V8.

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 »
