Ford Runs 1.0L EcoBoost Powered 118 MPG Street Legal Formula Ford At Goodwood

Click here to view the embedded video. Ever since someone at Ford decided that it would be a good way to promote their new 1 liter three cylinder EcoBoost engine by dropping a tuned version into a Formula Ford open wheel racecar setup to be street legal.   Of course they took it to the Nurburgring, where it was timed on the northern circuit at 7:22, faster than an Enzo. Last weekend they took it up the hill at the 20th  Goodwood Festival of Speed, in Brentwood, Essex, UK. With about 200 HP and weighing only 495 kg (~1,100 lbs) the FF1, as Ford is calling it, can hit 60 MPH in less than four seconds. Ford also says that the FF1 can also go as far as 118 miles on a single gallon of gasoline, but of course, that's not when one's foot is pinned to the firewall. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
