      It’s engines produced by Red Bull power trains, who are a new engine manufacturer consisting of personnel who used to work at Honda, Mercedes, etc. They use some technology from Ford and brand it “Ford”, but it’s not Ford producing the engines

        The engine doesn’t. The factory uses a metal 3D printer provided by Ford.

      Red Bull Powertrains use Ford engines, right?

      Lolnope. Ford can’t even design and build engines for their upcoming WEC hypercar without the help of Red Bull Powertrains. RBPT was established and running way before Ford paid big bucks to place a sticker.
