I thought the next Liightning would house this Ford Hurricane engine but the program has been discontinued due to funds.

The engine cancellation is attributed to a shortfall in available funding from Ford, the belief that the appetite for large engines is a temporary fad, and resources are needed for the continued development of Ford's next generation V6 engine.

Ford's performance image has taken it in the shorts as of late...

 

what will they cancel next? seems like everytime ford is about to grow a pair, they do something like this

 

Looks like if you want performance you'll have to go to Dodge.

 

Or Gm or Pontiac.............
