Cory Bruckner, Powertrain Development Engineer, details twin turbo, cooling, durability and more for journalists at media introduction of 2011 Kia Optima Turbo held in Miami, FL. 12.16.10
@Tyrael112 yeah well the ford focus st a 2.0 liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder turbo making 247 horsepower with a maximum torque of 265 lb-ft. The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, allowing it to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 6.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. So yea probably a 6.0-6.2 but its top speed should and most likely will be faster.
@o2compressor I would expect 0-60 times to be in the 6.0-6.2 range, with a low-14 1/4 mile. Even with that power and a 6-spd auto, I wouldn't expect a top end much past 130mph. I wouldn't complain if I was underestimating, though!
I would really like to be the speaker for this car and this turbo engine package. Far too many engineers have poor or no business training, leading to lackluster enthusiasm in the product. I appreciate the technical details greatly, but I don't think he was doing this engine's significance any justice. It was very informative, thank you.
