Ford's new engine is so small it fits in carry-on luggage
Sprit Airlines would have a field day with this.
Ford’s new 3-cylinder engine is so small it can fit into a piece of carry-on luggage.

A team from Ford brought the heart of the smallest engine it makes to the security checkpoint at Detroit Metro airport in a roll-on bag, put it in a tray and ran it through the X-ray machine to demonstrate just how tidy it is.

Thought I'd throw this up here simply for the "neat" factor. If this runs as nicely as some of the European 3 cylinder engines it should do Ford well.
If not ... well, anyone remember the Chevy Vega?
