# Eccentric Eco-Cars 2010 Lincoln MKS Goes Green With EcoBoost Technology By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-05-16 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eccentric-eco-cars-2010-lincoln-mks-goes-green-with-ecoboost-technology References: [autoblog](http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/15/new-2010-lincoln-mks-with-ecoboost-to-start-at-47-760/) Don’t judge the new 2010 Lincoln MKS by its cover. (I know. I’m not even kidding.) With new EcoBoost technology--the first car to depend on this tech--the Lincoln MKS is more fuel efficient, environmentally friendly and more powerful. The Lincoln’s EcoBoost technology combines direct-injection and turbocharging, which means 20% better fuel economy, 15% lower CO2 emissions and better driving performance. The result? The MKS is a 3.5 liter V6 engine that pumps 355 horsepower and 350 lbs-feet of torque making it run like a V8 (I told you I wasn’t kidding). The 2010 Lincoln MKS comes in at $47,760 (USD). As far as the pictures are concerned: Introduce yourself, get to know her and love her. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ecoboost Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and implement EcoBoost technology in other car models to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. - **Direct-injection:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of direct-injection technology in various industries to enhance performance and fuel economy. - **Turbocharging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply turbocharging technology in different sectors to optimize power output and fuel efficiency. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create sustainable and high-performance vehicles by integrating EcoBoost, direct-injection, and turbocharging technologies. - **Energy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement EcoBoost, direct-injection, and turbocharging technologies in the energy industry to enhance energy efficiency. - **Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate EcoBoost, direct-injection, and turbocharging technologies in transportation systems to reduce emissions and improve performance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Opulent Americana EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lincoln-model-l100-concept.md) - [Stealth Luxury SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lincoln-navigator-black-label.md) - [Monstrously Powerful Hybrid SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerful-hybrid-suv.md) - [Sustainable Luxury Vehicle Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odyssean-edition.md) - [Breakneck Speed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucid-air-grand-touring-performance.md) - [Ultra-Efficient SUV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-electric-suv.md) - [Electric All-Wheel-Drive SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexus-rz-450e.md) - [Metallic-Finished Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-mustang-mache-gt-bronze.md) - [Revamped Sleek Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyriq.md)
