Here is an interesting technical fact:

“Though the 1.0-litre EcoBoost cylinder block can fit onto a sheet of A4 paper it delivers up to 92kW and 170Nm peak torque (200Nm with overboost) between 1,400 and 4,500rpm, giving it the highest power density of any Ford production engine to date.”

Australia will likely see the engine in 92kW form in Ford's B-Max sub compact SUV next year.

Pretty cool!

No mention of B-Max coming to Oz???? Has Metro spilled the beans ???

I thought Ford had already declared its not for Oz?

Small MPV's are a very tiny market.

...and the two liter four cylinder in my old Celica put out 66kw from the factory and is as heavy as a ships anchor...how times change...
