ford ecoboost
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. [

Yesterday we mentioned all the speculation regarding the
2010 Ford Taurus SHO and a focus group that SHO owners participated in, at the behest of Ford engineers and planners. Using the leaked photos of what everyone suspects is the
2010 Ford Taurus, the excitable folks over at
BringBackTheSHO.com put their steady hands to the task of giving us a peek at what they hope will be the next Taurus SHO.

Just look at that handsome lump of bulging, muscular Americana (on the right). You know the story by now. The Interceptor is a four-door Mustang (no matter what Ford says and then denies). Which means it's a rear wheel drive sedan powered by a torquey V8. We like this fact so much that us bothering to explain why is a waste of our collective breath. We also enjoy the aggressive, battering ram design, even though the big Ford 4-door looks a little too much like last year's
Super Chief Mega-Truck. Looks? Why are we talking about looks? FoMoCo — can you drop the
TwinForce Turbo in this sucker and paint it black? Oh screw it; we want our 500hp Supercharged Shelby Interceptor and we want it now. With the stripes.
