The V4 was later expanded into the Ford Duratec engine/Ford Cologne V6 engine that is used in the Ford Mondeo and many other Ford cars. The V4 engine was (and still is) also used in industrial applications: pumps, generators, and in agricultural machinery. In automobiles, the Taunus V4 was replaced by the Ford OHC/Pinto engine. Applications: 1.2 The 1.2 L (1183 cm³) version features an 80.0 mm bore and 58.9 mm stroke. Output was 50 hp (37 kW) and 61 ftlbf (83 N·m). Applications: 1.5 The 1.5 L (1498 cm³) V4 had a 90.0 mm bore and 58.86 mm stroke. It produced 65 hp (50 kW) and 11.7 ft·lbf (117 Nm) at 2500 RPM. Applications: - 1967-1978/1980 Saab 95 and Saab 96 (European market)
- 1967-1970 Saab 95, Saab 96 and Saab Sonett (USA market)
1.7 The 1.7 L (1699 cm³) V4 had a 90.0 mm bore and 66.8 mm stroke. It produced 70 hp (52 kW) and 101 ft·lbf (137 N·m). Applications: - 1966 Ford Taunus 17M

2.0 The 2.0 L (1996 cm³) Taunus V4 used a 93.66 mm bore and 72.42 mm stroke. Output was up to 85 hp (63 kW) and 109 ft·lbf (148 N·m). Applications:
Also, some DKW 'Munga', a Jeep like vehicle used in the German army were retrofitted with this Ford V4, to replace its standard two stroke engine.
Since the engine mounts and gearbox connections are identical between the Ford Cologne V6 engine and the V4, some vintage V4 Saab 96s were modified to take a V6, for rally racing, although this dramatically changed the weight distribution and steering characteristics. Taunus V4
