minus-squareKptnAutismus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoV8s have a great sound, but americans have historically been very bad at getting any kind of fuel mileage out of them. downsizing would be an idea, you could technically make a 2-3 Liter V8, but then you have the complexity of two equally performing 4-cilynder engines. and especially ford doesn’t do mechanical complexity very well, look at the 1.0 ecoboost.
minus-squareTheGrandNagus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 year agoThere’s nothing more American than a V8 that churns out a shockingly small amount of power and turns petrol into literally nothing. 7.2L V8 producing 200HP 💪🦅🇱🇷

minus-squaredmtalon@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoCertainly not a priority, but Ford still has to meet certain standards that as I understand it keeps getting tougher.
