This engine also features variable cam timing to optimize intake valve timing for smooth idle and an impressive broad torque curve with good power.

Six-speed automatic transmission SelectShift, which is the total front-wheel drive is available, is standard on the 2010 Lincoln MKZ. Performance of the train increased dramatically, with a 0-60 mph time by 7,7-7,1 seconds.

Lincoln MKZ engineering team also focuses on the engine mount subsystems, finding a balance between the voice of sportiness and luxury, “said Matt Hettenhouse, team leader of the powertrain.

High 10.3:1 compression ratio and aluminum cylinder heads designed for high airflow and optimized combustion help complete the package, supporting the machine’s ability to deliver superior performance and fuel economy, along with low emissions.

Unique 2010 Lincoln MKZ is a re-engineering resonators in the air induction system. “They provide powerful, smooth voice of Lincoln MKZ customers expect,” said Hettenhouse.
