Lion V8
- See also Ford 4.4 Turbo Diesel
The 3.6 L V8 is built at Ford Dagenham by Ford of Europe. It is a twin-turbocharged Diesel V8 producing 272 PS (268 hp/200 kW) and 640 N·m (472 lb·ft). Production began in April 2006.
Much speculation in the United States has focused on this engine as a possible Diesel entrant in the F-150 pickup truck and Expedition SUV. It was announced that the new F150 engine will be based on this engine and enlarged to 4.4L. The Cleveland Engine plant recently began small-scale production of the exotic compacted graphite iron (CGI) used in the block's construction, leading many to expect production of the engine there.

And wounds the earth, if nothing else, with rage
To be o’erpowered.”
