Koenigsegg ford engine5/31/2023 ![]() The engineering firm has extensive experience in everything from F1 engine castings to CGI blocks like Ford's EcoBoost V-6. They added things like stiffening ribs and chose Grainer & Worrall in the United Kingdom to make the new block out of aluminum. Koenigsegg ended up making so many changes to the block over time that they had to abandon Ford's and start casting their own. The main features that really remained from the Ford engine were the 90-degree angle and the bore spacing. The lubrication system was converted to dry sump and the pistons got a new oil cooling system. Koenigsegg started by reinforcing the block and implementing a new crankcase gas recirculation system, followed by all new pistons, connecting rods, and camshafts. The first redesign resulted in something that was almost entirely new. Tuning it for high power turned it into an unreliable and dirty engine that had to run on race gas, so they went back to the drawing board. Improving the performance of the Modular motor proved to be tricky.
