Lincoln finally unveiled its long-awaited EcoBoost-powered MKS sedan at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The MKS with the EcoBoost powertrain — a turbocharged, direct-injected V6 — puts out a V8-like 355 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque while delivering what Ford says is V6 firing material economy.
The MKS is expected to attain fuel economy figures of 16 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway – which Ford says puts it up favorably against the Lexus GS460 and Infinti M45.
A six-speed transmission mates up to the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. Ford says that turbo lag has been essentially eliminated due to use of small, quick-spooling turbochargers.
MKS EcoBoost models will be available in the summer of 2009 and will come standard with 19-inch wheels, paddle-shifters, all-wheel-drive and auto highbeam HID headlamps. Externally, the MKS EcoBoost features a revised bodykit and unique badging.
Lincoln hasn’t announced pricing for the EcoBoost MKS.
