Lincoln Zephyr to get Duratec 3.5 V6
Even though the Zephyr has only been on the market for 1 year Ford has already decided to change its power plant. Currently the Zephyr is powered by the 3.0L Duratec which will be replaced for the 2007 model year with the new 3.5L V6. When mated to the 6-speed automatic transmission the Zephyr is expected to improve fuel economy as much as 7%.
The 250-hp engine is the same one that will be used to power the upcoming Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX. The new Duratec 35 is projected by Ford to power one in five of the company’s North American vehicles by the end of the decade.
