Can the Maverick Hybrid hit 260HP? Lincoln figured out a way to do it...

Sooo.....the Lincoln corsair is also using a 2.5L Atkinson engine. It's built on the C2 platform, just like the Maverick.

What kind of Voodoo are they working with to squeeze the extra 70 hp out of what looks to be the same setup? More powerful electric motor maybe?

Oh, and it comes in AWD...

The Corsair has a 70hp rear electric motor on top of the normal hybrid system.

Interesting- Hybrid starts @ 52K -

Good thing I spyed. Hybrid engine is port injected not Direct. Means no chance of carbon buildup on valves.

I'd be willing to bet the gas engine has the same HP numbers, it's the electric motors that are different probably because it's a heavier vehicle. The AWD model is nearly 1000lb heavier than a Maverick.

ah, ok. so, this is virtually the same setup up front. probably the same 4 cylinder and trhe same electric motor for the front wheels. the difference is the additional Electric motor in the back...

The e-motor in the Maverick is like 130hp, so yes theoretically, but you'd need more battery power. The current battery config only allows like 30 extra hp.

Because it's a plug-in hybrid so 10x bigger battery pack. Also probably beefier motor inverter so they can run closer to their theoretical max output for EV-only driving

i also read that the battery is 14.4kw., vs the Maverick's 1.1kw. I'm sure that adds some weight as well.

Yes, the Corsair Grand Touring is an Escape PHEV system with a extra electric motor in the rear.

One of the big selling points for me was that very fact.

If I drop my spare, I might have room for an upgrade!

Are we talking about a PHEV here? The PHEV Corsair has a 14.4 kw battery vs 1.1 kWh in the Mav.

Overrated issue. My duratec 2.0 looked spotless when I opened it up at 150k to replace the $15 vvt solenoids. Synthetic oil every 10-15k miles and past 6k rpms at least once per week may have helped? I wouldn't shy away from a Ford DI engine.

Only thing that annoyed me was that it seems like they could have easily designed the solenoids for replacement without removing the valve cover. Would have made it a 2 minute job instead of close to an hour.

A PHEV would be the most practical, but theoretically you could just put a bigger / more powerful battery in a Maverick HEV and get more HP out of the motor. You'd just get worse gas mileage because you'd have to run the engine more to keep it charged.
