Default Wow, The Duratec motor has Pedigree.

Did you know the MX5 and Focus have virtually the same motor?

The 2.5 L and 3.0;L V6 Duratecs are evolutions of the same design, first used in the 1994 Ford Mondeo. It is a modern aluminum DOHC V6 with a 60° bank angle. The primary engineering input came from Porsche, who were developing a similar V6 before selling the engineering to Ford, and Cosworth, who helped with cylinder head manufacturing.

Take a look at this site for Duratec info...

Doesn't suprise me at all. Interesting reading there regarding people talking about the Ford Pinto engine, they obviously don't know much about it to rubbish it like that...
