Combustible Technology

Variable timing adds power and efficiency.

Introducing the newest powertrain innovation from Ford: twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT). Unlike traditional camshafts, whose timing is fixed during manufacturing, Ti-VCT technology enables camshafts to be slightly rotated, allowing each camshaft to be “advanced” or “retarded.” This adds an extra measure of precision, contributing to fuel efficiency or power output, as conditions demand. The electronic control module gives each intake and exhaust camshaft the ability to adjust independently of the other; traditional VCT engines operate only on the intake cam.
Ti-VCT technology also improves fuel efficiency at all engine speeds: on Mustang, it delivers an amazing 31 mpg highway for the V6 and 26 mpg highway for the V8.*
