New Mercury car
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 13-Jun-02 AT 06:13 PM (EST)]Saw a commercial for the new Mercury Marauder.
They advertise the car with a 302 horsepower engine, I know that ford owns lincoln/mercury, are they reusing the old 5.0/302?

Ok the engine is a 4.6 liter, and the website says it only has 281 horsepower.
Yet the commercials and the website also says it can do 302 horsepower, how can an engine(I'm assuming the engine is stock and they haven't done any crazy stuff to it) that only has 281 horsepower perform 302 horsepower?

The Marauder's engine is the same as the one in the Mustang Cobra (pre-'03). That makes 320hp.
What it said on the website must have been wrong. Every place I've seen the Marauder's hp rating, it's been 302.
Anyways, it looks like a sweet car.

You're confusing cubic inches and horsepower. The 4.6 has a displacement of 281 cubic inches. The power output depends on a variety of things. They are using the dual overhead cam version (Cobra motor) in the Marauder which makes it very capable of producing more horsepower than it has cubic inches. Hopefully that makes sense. If I've just succeeded in confusing you more, I'm sorry. Seems like I do that alot.

Dennis, right-click on your link and then click properties. Check out the URL, you've got two http's.
About the 302 horse motor, it's tuned to make more torque to haul around the big Merc.
