The Flex Ecoboost, and the Lincoln MKT Ecoboost. Duratec 35 with twin watercooled turbos, direct injection, with 350 hp, and 355 ft lbs and a 6-spd auto with paddle shifters. It's actually the same driveline as the Taurus SHO (mind you, with 10hp less), but compared to standard FWD Flexes, they have larger rims, higher spring rates, larger brakes, and better shocks/struts.

The EcoBoost in the Flex maks it a fast people mover too.
A Flex EcoBoost was run @ the last SVTOA trrack event @ Mosport.... dear god that thing flew up the back straight and was passing Mustangs like they were going in reverse (mind you the brakes on the thing were left smoking hauling down to sane speeds though :ph34r: )
