The 2017 MKZ, scheduled to go on sale next summer, also will introduce a 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 engine that’s exclusive to Lincoln and rated at 400 hp when paired with all-wheel drive. That’s 100 hp more than the most powerful engine on the current MKZ, which is Lincoln’s highest-volume nameplate.
Det är samma motor som Sintercast nämnde i somras. Då presenterades den som kommande i Lincoln Continental men nu är det alltså även storsäljaren MKZ som skall få den. Roligt att det rullar vidare inom bensinmotorer. 400 hkr är ju inte illa från en 3 liters motor.
The base engine is a carryover 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and a gas-electric hybrid option will remain. The 3.0-liter engine, which also will be available in the Continental, replaces a 3.7-liter naturally aspirated V-6 rated at 300 hp and 277 pound-feet of torque.
Alltså ner i volym med 7 dl och upp i hkr med 100
Sintercast rapport jun 2015
Serieproduktionen påverkades positivt från personbilssegmentet då Ford V6-bensinmotorn fortsatte att öka i volym, parallellt med återgången till full produktion av 2015 års F-150 pick-up. Fords V6-bensinmotor på 2.7 liter, annonserades på New York Auto Show i en 3.0 literversion, för Lincoln Continental konceptbil. –
En artikel från en som vet mycket om CGI
More work for Ford’s EcoBoost CGI engine
However, this level of power, with the possibility of more to come, would not be possible without Ford engineers’ choice of compacted graphite iron (CGI) for the engine cylinder block. Ford has probably produced more engines with CGI cylinder blocks than any other automaker.

Denna svinmotor måste bara komma i Ford Mustang. 2017 års Mustang håller vi ögonen på.

The “Lincoln exclusive” V6 is an enlarged version of the 2.7-L EcoBoost unit that powers the F-150 and other Ford and Lincoln models (see:http://articles.sae.org/13388/). At the MKZ’s media preview ahead of the 2015 L.A. Auto Show, Lincoln President Kumar Galhotra told Automotive Engineering that punching out the compact graphite-iron (CGI) cylinder block to make the most powerful Lincoln production engine ever entailed numerous design changes.
