Good news happening in the states on the V6 ...... so what implications, if any would this have on the I6. Seems that the States are very happy with the results they are achieving.

That's 240kw & 7.5 L/100km - very good numbers.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

You would also need to see how our method for determining official fuel consumption figures compares the the US method.

Interesting numbers, but how much torque does it produce?

Solution Was Boost 4?, 6 & 8

I did read a great statement in another thread, H/P sells cars but torque wins races.

Torque is over 370nm IIRC. The engine performs roughly the same as Coyote litre for litre.

the mustang might be a little better aerodynamicly too, there would`nt be much in it between the i6 and new v6, except the barra is still a torque monster.

Am I missing something here?
"Ford’s confirmation of an EPA-rated 31 highway mpg rating to go along with the 305 horsepower rating makes the 2011 Mustang the most fuel efficient car with over 300 hp ever produced. " A Mustang with 224kw and a highway fuel use of 7.6 liters per 100 kilometers A BMW 550i has 270kw with highway fuel use of 7.2 liters per 100 kilometers Its still impressive but not ground breaking. |

How do you do the conversion from MPG to L/100? 19MPG doesn't sound that ground breaking.

That's a combined figure of 10.6 auto, not that impressive unless their test is harsher than ours.

As an example, load www.google.com and in the search field type: convert 100km to miles or convert 19mpg to l/100km You can do this for a range of metrics and measurements etc. Good old Google. Agreed with others, this once again highlights how impressive the OZ I6 is!
