The F6 270 Turbo is a turbo charged and intercooled 4.0-litre in-line six-cylinder powerplant with double overhead camshafts and a four-valve aluminium cylinder head. It produces its maximum power of 270kW at 5250rpm while its maximum torque of 550Nm is on tap from 2000rpm and remains constant all the way through to 4250rpm.
It produces more than 80 per cent of its maximum torque at 1500 rpm and over 98 per cent at 1750rpm, ensuring exhilarating performance while also providing an extremely flexible and relaxed nature for everyday city driving.
The F6 Typhoon will reinforce Ford Performance Vehicles as the most advanced high-performance car maker in Australia.
?This exciting engine follows the high-tech path we have already forged with the quad-cam Boss 290 ? the only V8 engine to be produced in Australia,? says David Flint, managing director of Ford Performance Vehicles.
?The fact that it produces the highest torque output of any production engine ever built in Australia is a clear signal that FPV is forging ahead as the powerhouse of Australian performance cars.
?Tickford established its credentials here in Australia with the original Ford Falcon XR6 in 1992. Now the time is right, with the outstanding BA Falcon platform, to reinforce our influence on the six-cylinder high-performance market in Australia ? and take it to the next level.?
The increase in power and torque over the Ford XR6 Turbo engine has been achieved through maximizing the efficiency of cooling and induction processes of the engine.
It features a 50 per cent larger air-to-air intercooler and a dual air intake system that significantly reduces intake pressure into the turbo?s compressor, therefore allowing it work more effectively.
The electronic engine management system has also been modified, with the variable camshaft timing now allowing each camshaft to be adjusted independently rather than simultaneously. This has given the engine an increase in off-boost torque at low engine speeds, while still maintaining the engine?s ability to run on 95 RON octane fuel.
FPV?s engineers have also fitted high-strength conrods, heavy-duty valve springs and an oil-to-water oil cooler to handle the increased loads offered by the extra power and torque.
Additional product information will be released closer to the final launch date.
