But with 260hp now it is definitely more competitive.

Duratec 35 FTW!

Good motor with alot of potential....

Official SAE certified engine output is 265 hp (198 kW) and 250 ft·lbf (339 N·m) on 87 octane gas, but could reach 300 hp (224 kW) once planned features like gasoline direct injection are added. This is a substantial upgrade in power from the Duratec 30, and bests all competitive engines except the newest version of Nissan's VQ35DE and Toyota's 2GR-FE. :flame:
