[DeTomaso] NPC Ford rumor mill Voodoo Engine

[Boyd Casey]

I found this while searching for info on the new Voodoo engine reportedly
coming out in 2015.


The Voodoo V8 is an upgrade from the Coyote we saw in the 2013 Mustang in a
number of ways. The most obvious of which is that the Voodoo comes with two
– yes two – turbochargers.

Less obvious but maybe more important is the switch to a 180 degree
crankshaft. This set-up has been a staple of Ferrari V8s since the mid
1970s and resembles what you would get if you bolted two inline four’s to
the same crankshaft. The benefits are increased power and throttle response
because of better crank positioning. The downside is an increase in
vibration which requires very careful engineering. That’s why engines like
this typically don’t land in anything but high-end Italian performance cars.

So what do two turbos and a fancy new crankshaft mean in terms of power?
Maybe as much as 600 horsepower, which is more than you get in the V8
powered Ferrari 458 Italia. Not to mention- maybe, just maybe – more torque
than the Ram Air Cobra Jet.
