yeah I read that too- very similar power and torque to the current 3litre v6 but with a much better power and torque spread and 15/20% improved economy along with it weighing less- slot one in a focus and you have a nice and reponsive fairly quick motor with decent mpg .
supposed to be a smaller powerplant than the 1.6 coming to the uk aswell for some of our smaller 'city' cars like the fiesta and more so the KA.
