Ford’s formula race car powered by its award-winning 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine may seem tame considering it’s only producing around 177 horsepower in street-legal trim, but as Chris Harris found out there’s certainly nothing tame about a turbocharged and direct-injected 1.0-liter mill with just over a 1,100 pounds to carry. For the latest episode of his Drive series, the British journo took the Formula Ford 1.0 Ecoboost (FF1) for a spin on some public roads in Germany before finally taking it out on the Nürburging for some high-speed action. With power in the car dialed...

2013 Lincoln MKS: 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show
At this week’s 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show Lincoln is showing off its latest MKS luxury sedan, which has just undergone a facelift for the 2013 model year. Sadly, like the similarly updated MKT we saw earlier, the stylists at Lincoln were unable to change the look dramatically, which means the...

Most apparent, even to casual onlookers, is the refined exterior styling, starting with a less-pronounced waterfall grille. The new front end gets more grille slats and smoother lines, too, and the restyle goes a long way in making the MKT more visually appealing. It’s the changes underneath the skin, however, that Lincoln believes will draw buyers back into showrooms. A more powerful and more fuel-efficient...

Ford Announces 1.0-Liter EcoBoost Engine
Ford’s 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 proved one point to truck and sedan buyers; thanks to technology like gasoline direct injection and twin-turbocharging, it was indeed possible to squeeze V-8 power and drivability out of a V-6. Their 2.0-liter EcoBoost four looks to prove that V-6 power is...
