A new 136-horsepower, 2.0-liter Duratec 20
dual overhead cam, in-line four-cylinder (I-4) engine replaces both the
base 110-horsepower, 2.0-liter single overhead cam I-4 engine and the
available 130-horsepower, 2.0-liter Zetec DOHC I-4 engines offered since
the North American debut of Focus in 2000.
In California, New York, Massachusetts,
Vermont and Maine, a super-clean 20E version of the Duratec 20 is the
standard engine. All Focuses powered by the Duratec 20E meet
California's Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle tailpipe standard and
have zero fuel system evaporative emissions in order to qualify as a
Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle. This means the 20E version of Focus is
cleaner than some hybrid electric vehicles.
A 150-horsepower 2.3-liter Duratec 23
DOHC I-4 engine will power the new Focus ST performance sedan, which
will be available in all 50 states. This free-revving engine is derived
from the same family as the Duratec 20 but its larger displacement and
performance-tuned exhaust help it produce 10 percent more horsepower.
Torque is 153 foot-pounds, a 16 percent increase for exceptionally
strong off-the-line and mid range acceleration. |
