Ford's Motorcity speed-freaks: EcoBoost Engine



There has been a lot of controversy in the field of ecology. Saving the world is important since the species living on it are in danger of coexistence, due to the natural misbalance product of the action of man.

The raw material is extracted every day in huge amounts. Copper, Gold, Oil, Marble, and others are exploited and often big company owners figure out how to get more and more, although a few or none give much thought on other means of manipulating (it cannot be created) or getting energy from nature.

But man tries to help nature. Actually, man has created some sort of device to help nature “breath” for an instant. One of the Britain’s most famous and finest car brands has come up with an idea that will have an impact in the car industry. 

The Ford’s new 1-liter EcoBoost Engine is the proof that scientists have been trying to diminish the amount of raw material used. This gem for speed-freaks is an engine powered with 170Nm Torque (the turning power of an engine) and 125PS (Pferdestärke: German term for “Horse power”) are quite superior to an average 1.6-liter engine. It has also a smaller three-cylinder block (21cm by 30cm), so that it can be put onto an a4 sheet of paper without having parts out of it.

This gadget is a little bit expensive, but most important of all is that it makes no annoying noise (no acoustical pollution) and it uses almost half of the gas we use to fill another car’s engine. This new breakthrough, as the media coverage shows, seems to be a way of saving money and nature as well.

Would anyone spend money on this new device?
