We can't help but think the Lincoln MKT 2008 concept is a preview of the car caught undergoing preliminary testing a couple weeks ago. Significantly, the MKT concept makes use of Ford's anticipated EcoBoost engine technology (formerly dubbed "Twin Force") in the form of a 3.5-liter V-6 which uses direct injection and turbocharging to produce the power of a V-8 with the fuel efficiency of a V-6.
Implications - XX.
With so many people demanding the efficiency of smaller engines like those of V-4 and V-6 engine cars, but not wanting to sacrifice the power of V-* engines, the Lincoln MKT 2008 offers the perfect solution.
