McLaren Engine Tecnologies Manufacture new LS

McLaren Performance Technologies has been developing specialized engines for about 30 years now, with powerplants that helped win the Indy 500 and Cam-Am championships many times over. In that time, the company has made several forays into production models; remember the papaya-orange Mustang of yesteryear (OK, it was the mid-'80s)? That was the original McLaren-enhanced production car.
Now it's preparing for a return to street vehicles beginning with the Lincoln LS. With air force-fed by an Eaton Supercharger and twin intercoolers, the 3.9-liter V8 engine should propel the car from 0-to-60 mph in 6.2 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 14.2 seconds. This is made possible by 350 horses, 100 more than the regular V8. A new six-speed manual tranny routs the power to the rear wheels, but the five-speed transmission will still be standard. A completely revised exhaust system topped by dual exhaust outlets handles the extra effluvium.
