"EcoBeast" trademarked by Ford

Ford just trademarked "Ecobeast" for future use for cars and engines...

The website Motrolix uncovered a Dec. 22 application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to use the name for "automobiles and automobile engines." Here's what they dug up:

Ford Trademarks 'EcoBeast' Name For Macho Kickass EcoBoost Engines

Normally, patent applications should never be taken as confirmation of future products. Lots of times automakers (and companies in other fields) apply for the names to keep competitors from doing the same, or to renew older names set to expire.

But with the next Ford Raptor widely speculated to use a 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6, this aggressive nameplate certainly sounds appropriate. Or could it refer to something else entirely, like turbocharged V8 or even V10 engines?

What does it mean? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!? I don't know, but maybe we'll find out soon enough.

Someone get that man some royalties!

Sorry please delete...

Tho I wonder if this will have anything to do with the S550 in the future. :shrug:

They probably realized it's a good catchy name and just wanted to grab it before someone else profited from it.

This actually isn't new, Ford was just renewing the trademark.

I would laugh if Ford dropped a lighter and faster Ecoboost V6 Stang on us to destroy the HellCat. Nothing new here but we get Automotive News at work.

You'd need a seriously light car to make a EcoBoost STREET MOTOR destroy a Hellcat.

Looks like there could be an issue with the name, interestingly enough: http://trademarktogo.com/ford-seeks-trademark-ecobeast/

Ford Ecobeast

I'm not sure if this will show due to the restrictions on the website, but here is the EcoBeast. Looks like Ford is branding "EcoBeast" as performance packages for certain EcoBoost vehicles, the Mustang being one of them.

I'm amused that there is a Chevy shortblock in there haha.

Ford actually trademarked the name a few years ago and was only reapplying.

My LS powered vehicles are in no way concerned about having their engines inhaled by my EcoBoost. LOL.
