“Ford was the first automaker to have a significant presence at CES nine years ago, and we are proud to continue that legacy of innovation in 2016,” said Mark Fields, president and CEO, Ford Motor Company. “As we move forward with our Ford Smart Mobility plan, CES is the perfect venue for sharing news on our efforts to change the way the world moves and provide new solutions in the areas of connectivity, mobility, autonomous vehicles, the customer experience and data and analytics.”

Ford is hosting the first automotive news conference of CES 2016 during CES Press Day from 7:30-8 a.m. PST on Tuesday, Jan. 5 at Mandalay Bay. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)™, formerly the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, CES 2016 is the world’s largest hands-on showcase of emerging innovation and is scheduled for Jan. 6-9, 2016, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Additionally, CTA has named the Ford GT – an ultra-high-performance supercar that serves as a technology showcase for top EcoBoost® performance, aerodynamics and lightweight carbon fiber construction – the Official Vehicle of CES 2016.

I wonder how hard it would be to apply that Ecoboost technology to a 5.0 motor, say in a Mustang.

Probably not hard at all ...could prob ably use one of the turbos from the 310Hp 2.3L EB I-4 and with more than twice the displacement of a 5.0 could probably get 650+HP without pushing it much.

Didn't Ford do a 5.0 turbo demo/prototype (a CJ-like build) about 18 months ago ...which was about 18 months after they said there was no room in the mustang engine compartment for turbos :rofl3:

Doesn't leave much room. Guess the supercharger would be a better choice.
