• Ford Motor Company, host company of the 2010 SAE World Congress, outlines plans to introduce three new four-cylinder engines in North America in the next year to meet customer demand for fuel efficiency
• Ford will provide the most comprehensive lineup of products and powertrains of any automaker for the conference’s expanded ride-and-drive sessions
• Ford speakers at SAE World Congress include Bill Ford, executive chairman, and Paul Mascarenas, vice president of Engineering Global Product Development and general chairman of the 2010 SAE World Congress; several other senior company executives will participate in panel discussions

DETROIT, April 8, 2010 – Stepping up to meet rising consumer demand for smaller and more fuel-efficient engines, Ford Motor Company announced today it plans to introduce three new four-cylinder advanced technology power trains in the next year.

The three new engines joining Ford’s portfolio include a 1.6-liter Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) Sigma I-4, a 2.0-liter direct-injection Ti-VCT Duratec® I-4 and a 2.0-liter Ti-VCT EcoBoost™ I-4.

The new powertrains will be just some of the topics Ford will discuss at SAE World Congress, where it is serving as host company and will offer show attendees firsthand experiences behind the wheel of several of its new vehicles. The conference kicks off on Tuesday, April 13.

“The SAE World Congress has always been a unique opportunity to showcase our R&D and debate and discuss the application of new technologies, such as our growing family of high-tech four-cylinder engines,” said Paul Mascarenas, Ford vice president of Engineering Global Product Development and general chairman of the 2010 SAE World Congress. “But nothing brings innovation to life better than getting behind the wheel and experiencing it firsthand. This year we are going to let our vehicles and powertrain technologies do some of the talking for us.”

The nation’s premier automotive engineering conference will include expanded ride-and-drive sessions during the three-day gathering. Ford is offering up the most comprehensive lineup of products and powertrains for test drives. Included are:

• Ford Taurus SHO, with the award-winning 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine
• Ford Fusion Hybrid, 2010 North American Car of the Year
• 2011 Ford Mustang, featuring the all-new all-aluminum 3.7-liter Ti-VCT V-6
• Ford Transit Connect commercial van with fuel-efficient 2.0-liter Duratec DOHC I-4
• A test version of Ford Focus Electric, being presented by Magna International, Ford’s vehicle development supplier and 2010 SAE World Congress Tier 1 Strategic Partner

Many of us who sit around the Autoblog campfire every day are fans of station wagons. We love cars and love the idea of having some extra utility without giving up the generally superior driving dynamics of cars versus SUVs or crossovers. We also like the idea – if not necessarily the execution – of the Ford Taurus SHO.

Being aware of that fact, one of our readers put his Photoshop skills to work and created the rendering you see here of a SHO wagon. Ford, of course, has never officially built an official SHO wagon – either with the current model or with its predecessors. Naturally, there have been some aftermarket and homebuilt conversions over the years, and even at least one that we know of that was built inside Dearborn.
