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 1.6-liter variant of Ford's Ecoboost engine line was one of the worst kept secrets in engine development. Well, not as bad as the Scorpion or Coyote, but still, it's a 180 HP, 170 lb-ft turbocharged bigger displacement four-cylinder replacement. 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.

Rather than a pedestrian 3.7-liter V6, the 2010 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost provides a rip-roaring 355 HP twin-turbo V6 that'll get 24+ MPG. Minus tweaks, it's the same setup we'll see in the Ford Taurus SHO. 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 »

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 »
