Ford Twin-Turbos Target Fuel Economy

Ford introduced a twin-turbo V-6 engine for the upcoming Lincoln MKS sedan as a concept in January in a totally different car. Now the company is saying not only is this new engine — called TwinForce — on the way, but it will come in the form of four-, six- and even eight-cylinder gasoline engines in the future.

Ford is saying the twin-turbo will deliver diesel-like fuel economy, upward of 25% better than non-turbo engines of the same size. 

We’ll reserve final judgment on the plan until we hear more about the actual engines, not just the concept and plans. However, a highly efficient engine that doesn’t sacrifice power for mileage could be just the thing to help Ford come out of its current lull.
