This will be interesting- the Mustang already took a leap when it adopted four-cylinder power, and odds-on it will downsize and become Atkinson cycle for the hybrid application. I'm guessing a lightweight battery pack will be implemented. Or maybe it will be a 48V mild-hybrid for the V8? The more powerful the motor, the less work the engine has to do... F-150 is more interesting, especially if it adopts a four-cylinder engine to supplement its electric motor. Will it get market acceptance in Murica? Looking forward to the Transit hybrid and autonomous ride-sharing car but dunno if they'll come here. Imagine if they called it Falcon... ( ah scratch that don't want a ban ) |

F150 is interesting on a number of levels. Getting a hybrid model to sell well will make a large contribution to their company wide emissions, but there's a practical application too. The instant electrical torque will give diesel like performance alot better than other solutions.
I am worried it's another sign Ford don't have a V8 future though. |

Oh Dear, half of you lot can't accept a Ecoboost let alone a Hybrid Mustang.

Its the heritage behind the car and in a Country where petrol is 65 cents a litre they love there big old muscle V8's, this is something that will only change with generations, many parts of the US will never embrace it. The Hybrid will need to have some serious punch or it will be off to the rental car companies also..

Word is the 5.0 will be replaced by a 4.8 V8 with both direct and port injection. If it's true, I wouldn't be surprised to see an EcoBoost version. But I'm more interested to see what the hybrid can do.

Do you think there's a desire from F series buyers for a large non turbo, non hybrid petrol engine that would just be expected to kick over hundreds of thousands of miles on basic maintenance? Or do you think they'll get on board with higher tech engines if the performance justifies it? Afterall what Ford puts into F series really dictates their large engine and drivetrain options.

Coyote was designed for EcoBoost, the ports are there for DI, still unused.

3.5 V6 Ecoboost is already replacing 6.2 V8 applications, so I think any potential Coyote based EcoBoost has to have that kept in mind. If it was going to drop down alot closer to 4L it could eventually replace the 3.5, given the 2.7l and 3l engines now sitting under it performing similar to the first gen 3.5 EcoBoost.

For ford to do it won't be that hard. To convert an already built engine to DI isnt really possible, it would need a DI version to swap parts from. Bowled pistons required, whole new fuel system due to the huge fuel pressure required, plus whatever else. Some DI engines have to run the fuel pump off the camshaft or crank.

Apparently there are another 6 electric/hybrid vehicles yet to be announced too. Anyone want to take a stab?

I reckon a proper Focus electric (not just the compliance one they have now) or C-segment EV, Lincoln might want to get on the bandwagon if they want to compete with BMW, Audi, Merc, Jag, etc. A Super Duty Hybrid would be very cool |

I'm curious if all the RWD products will get the same basic hybrid package, or if they will have something smaller for potentially Mustang/Transit/Ranger? And then a larger one for F series/SUV's.
