Good catch! I see the 1.5L Ecoboost is not the old 1.5L Ecoboost 4-cyl we are used to seeing. Its a new 3-cyl. Interesting. I'd like to see how much shaking it does. Thats not a lot of cylinders, and its gonna shake.
Fox engine: 1.0L 3-cyl - iron block
Dragon engine: 1.5L 3-cyl - aluminum block
Sigma engine: 1.5L 4-cyl - aluminum block
According to Wiki, it's the Dragon. Interesting engine. It also has cylinder deactivation.
Copied from the wiki page:
"On 24 February 2017, as part of the unveiling of the seventh generation (Mk8 - UK) derived Fiesta ST, Ford announced an all-new aluminum inline 3-cylinder 1.5 L EcoBoost engine with cylinder deactivation technology.[21] The version of this engine announced for the Fiesta ST produces 200 PS (150 kW; 200 hp) at 6,000 rpm and delivers 290 Nâ‹…m (210 lbfâ‹…ft) of torque from 1,600 to 4,000 rpm.[22]
The engine is based on an expansion of the 1.0 EcoBoost, taking the capacity per cylinder up to 500cc which Ford consider is likely to be the maximum for optimum thermal efficiency.[23] The engine is an all-aluminum design with integrated exhaust manifold, low inertia mixed flow turbocharger and combines both port fuel injection and direct fuel injection.
The engine will be available with cylinder deactivation technology, implemented by stopping fuel delivery and valve operation for one of the engine's cylinders in conditions where full capacity is not needed."
