Ford unveils 3-cylinder Start in China

The concept car is called the Ford Start, the Detroit Free Press reported Friday.

The Start features a 1.0-liter, direct-injection, turbocharged engine and "delivers a dynamic, personality-driven design that stays true to the global Ford brand," said J Mays, Ford's vice president of design and chief creative officer, the newspaper said.

Ford spokesman Mark Schirmer said the engine would eventually show up in cars in all of Ford's major markets.
