Where will be no V8 eco TV. I said this years ago on here. People said I was wrong and it will be out in 2 years or less. Kind of like finding Big Foot, I'm still waiting and some people still are saying it's going to happen.
What's to gain? They are already getting over 350 HP out of their V6. If they want more they can just turn the boost up. The whole idea of the Ecoboost is to have the economy of a V6 when power is not needed and have the power of a V8 when needed.
What is their ad slogan going to be if they came out with a V8 Eco?
"Burns fuel like a V8 when off of boost; burns fuel like 2 V8's when you need the power?" :B LOL
Why would anybody need 500 or 600+ HP in a TV anyway? The whole idea is silly. People are already whining about the fuel use of the 360 HP Eco V6. They would really whine about the fuel use of a 500 or 600 HP Eco!
Is Ford going to come out with a Shelby V8 Eco to make the Vett look stupid? Who knows, but they aren't going to put it in a F350 to tow a trailer around.
Very much sums it up. I am now wondering what Ford will come up with to beat the Ducato, IVECO, Sprinter in Europe and elsewhere? As they outsell the Transit by a fair margin in Europe and in Australasia
