Duratec 2.5 Engine 5 cylinder

[Karlo]

Potent 300 bhp and 410 Nm Turbocharged Duratec 2.5-litre 5-cylinder engine.

I wonder if it will fit??

Wow, Ford bought Volvo and now they're using their weird ass 5 cylinder engines? LOL In what vehicles are these engines available in turbocharged form? Be interesting to see the construction of the engine, I'm still a fan of the direct injected turbocharged Ecotec in the new Cobalt SS. Good stuff!!

The engine is out of the new European Ford Focus RS. I haven't heard a lot about the engine but the car looks pretty sweet (if you can get the car in a non-fluorescent green). The way they set up the suspension to lower the effects of torque steer is pretty interesting too. Too bad they're not bringing it here.

Now THAT is a Focus I'd drive!!! Why the hell does Europe get all these cool cars and the US is stuck with all the crap?! What do we get that you guys don't that's any good? NOTHING. Europe & Asia & the Aussies get all the cool stuff... NO FAIR!!! :cry:

That looks like the Volvo S60 2.5 liter 5 cylinder available in the States. I don't know if you can get a turbo and manual transmission and fwd together. To my knowledge, only the awd S60R has turbo and manual trans. Nice potential.

I got a radical idea to eliminate torque steer too,
I call it "rear wheel drive"! :thumb2:
