Posted by Samar Huneidi on Oct 2, 2013
Ford is preparing a new 3.5 liter EcoBoost V6 racing engine for a Riley Technologies Daytona Prototype in new Ford bodywork to be run by Michael Shank Racing. The EcoBoost engine is built by Roush Yates Racing Engines and promises much better power and gas mileage.
"This engine is the future," says Roush Yates Racing Engines CEO Doug Yates in a statement. "This Ford EcoBoost engine includes all the newest technologies – direct injection, turbocharging and high efficiency. We’re looking at taking it to the next level through this sports car racing program."
"This EcoBoost-powered car is obviously adapted for racing applications with racing controls, but ultimately we’re running what we’re selling and selling what we’re running," said Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
