Following its January debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Ford has announced official pricing for the Lincoln MKS EcoBoost model. The 2010 Lincoln MKS with EcoBoost will list from $47,760, not including destination and delivery.
The MKS with the EcoBoost powertrain — a turbocharged, direct-injected 3.5L V6 — puts out a V8-like 355 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque while delivering what Ford says is V6 fuel 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 just a few weeks 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 body kit and unique badging. Later this year a MKS Appearance Package will be made available, featuring 20-inch wheels and a revised body kit. No pricing has been announced for the MKS Appearance Package.
