The Ford Duratec V6 is an aluminium-block, dual overhead cam V6 engine with a 60 degree bank angle and cast iron cylinder liners. It was introduced with the 1993 Ford Mondeo and used widely through 2012 in vehicles from Ford and its associated brands, including Mercury, Lincoln, Jaguar and Mazda. Ford briefed an engine for front-drive transverse layouts that was short enough for an 11 metre turning radius. Porsche had completed early development of the design, which explains its commonality with Porsche engines of the period, and Ford licensed the Cosworth Casting Method for the cylinder heads. The engine was built at Ford's Cleveland Engine Plant 2.
