🏁Ford #1. Ferrari #2.🏁
We like the sound of that headline!
Whilst Ford Racing is now back on the track, partnering with Red Bull Racing in the Formula 1 series, that’s not the only arena where we compete with the world’s best car makers.
Ford’s talented engineers have also been winning on the world stage for years and years. A great example of their talents is the Ford 1.0-litre Ecoboost engine, now featured in the All-New-Ford Transit Courier compact van.
Launched in 2012, the 1.0-litre 3-cylinder Ecoboost engine was awarded Best New Engine and overall International Engine of the Year for 2012. And 2013. And again in 2014!
At the time of it’s “3-in-a-row” win, the 1.0-litre Ecoboost finished 70 points clear of its closest competitor, Ferrari’s high-performance F136 4.5-litre V8.
The awards chairperson described the Ford engine as, “…a fantastic testament to how down-sizing and greater fuel efficiency needn’t mean sacrifice in other areas like power, refinement and drivability, and can even help enhance these elements.”
This fuel-efficient, little engine that really can kept winning. Best sub-one-litre engine from 2012 through 2017. And best sub-150PS engine in 2019.
Now you can enjoy the benefits of this highly efficient engine too. Just book a test drive in the All-New Ford Transit Courier at your local Ford dealership today and experience that award winning feeling for yourself.
