The Nano engine is Ford Motor Company's latest 60° DOHC V6 gasoline engine family. First introduced with the all-new 2015 Ford F-150, as the 2.7L EcoBoost V6, this engine family has now grown to include a 3.0L variant. Currently, these engines are only offered in turbocharged form.

Introduced with the 2015 Ford F-150 is a twin turbo 2.7 liter V6 Ecoboost engine. It delivers 325 hp and 375 lbft. The engine is built at the Lima Ford Engine Plant. Ford has invested half a billion dollars in the Lima plant for the new engine. Ford also states that the new engine will bring 300 jobs to Allen County, however transfers from other plants make the actual number hard to pin down. A 335-hp version is to be an option on the 2017 Lincoln continental. Being a next generation design it interestingly uses compacted graphite iron or (CGI), a material Ford uses in its 6.7L PowerStroke diesel engine. However, this design is not simply a CGI block, this is a engine features an aluminum ladder frame that supports the bottom end. This engine also features fractured split main bearing caps; providing much a superior fit between the main caps and the block. The Powerstroke engine also influence can aslo be seen in the offset I-Beam connecting rods, pistons, and reinforced plastic oil pan.
