they're trying to compete with the bmw TT 6 that they use across so many vehicles (335, 135, 535, etc). Like Lug said, imagine if its in other models. If its a successful engine, it could be used on a lot of the Ford platforms.
I don't know how heavy the Taurus is, but I bet it could probably shed a few pounds. It can be difficult though, having to deal with all the safety regulations that have to be put in place. That alone adds a lot of weight to a car.
