ELECTRO-FUSION IS THE "MOST PATENTED CAR" (BUT VW'S TWINCHARGER IS 2009's INTERNATIONAL ENGINE OF THE YEAR)

[Get the latest "Truth With Speedzzter" here]

A couple of interesting items from Autoblog Green . . . .

VW 1.4-liter Twincharger wins 2009 International Engine of the Year

And

Ford Fusion hybrid, the most patented car in history

So what if these two got together (like chocolate and peanut butter in a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup)?


Given FoMoCo's funding of Eaton's development of the modernized Roots blower in the 1980s, Ford's once and recent history with turbocharging, and the allure of hybrid-electric powertrains, its too bad that a twincharged (hopefully a displacement-on-demand DOHC V8) electric-hybrid isn't in Ford's lineup (Think hybrid electric Mustang)
