What do you get when you join a 1.0-liter Ford EcoBoost® engine to a standard pitching machine? In the name of science, action star Dolph Lundgren and Ford teamed up to pursue just that question. And the answer? You get the EcoBoost®-powered Ballistic Ball Launcher: part ultimate-sports-machine, part possible-weapon, 100 percent should-not-be-tried-at-home. Check it out in the video below for some good laughs, then come see us at O’Daniel Ford Inc. to see the EcoBoost® engines in their natural habitats: inside the models of the great Ford lineup.
The Ballistic Ball Launcher is definitely more powerful and much faster than your standard pitching machine, coming in at over 200 mph and flying right through a triple-layered drywall. It could have something to do with the turbochargers or the direct injection technology on that EcoBoost® engine, but can any mere mortal actually face off against this pitching monstrosity? Hopefully no one else tries.
All we can say is, we think the EcoBoost® engines should stay inside the Ford models they were designed for. If you’re looking to give your drive ‘The Boost,” come on into our showroom, located on 631 Lincoln Highway West, New Haven, IN. Whether you’re seeking a great Ford Truck, a Sedan, or a new Ford SUV, we know there’s an EcoBoost®-powered model just waiting for you here on our lot, so come on down and go for a test drive today.
