Ford's Taurus SHO and its 2011 Ford Flex feature EcoBoost Engines

Ford is raising the bar with its Eco-friendly vehicles, building fuel-efficient machines that reduce emissions and humanity's carbon footprint.

The company has stepped up to the plate and is working intelligently to embrace evolving technologies that produce cars of "good conscience." Ford is proving that it is concerned about the environment and doing not just what is economical, but what is ethical. Currently available are vehicles with EcoBoost Engines, Hybrid Vehicles and Electric Vehicles.

Ford's Taurus SHO and its 2011 Ford Flex feature EcoBoost Engines, a twin turbocharged direct injection (DI) engine with the power of a V8 but the fuel efficiency of a V6.

What is really great about the DI engine is that it delivers a fine mist of fuel straight into each cylinder, as opposed as dumping it into into the intake system. This innovation reduces turbo lag, which is the delay between when you press the gas and achieve the desired power and acceleration.
