By Rob Spiegel – Ford designed the tiny three-cylinder engine to match or exceed the power of an engine more than half again its size. “We were looking to see if we could deliver the power of a four-cylinder 1.6 engine in a smaller size,” Richard Truett, powertrain communications manger at Ford, told Design News. “We did it with direct fuel injections and turbo charging.”
