New 2015 Mustang Engine Options
With the holidays upon us once again we would like to offer our best wishes to all of our automotive fans for a safe and happy holiday season and may your new year be a prosperous one. We know we have done a lot of stories on the 2015 Mustang this month but there is so much to learn about the new car and we want to share everything we find with you so here. Here's a bunch of mechanical data on Ford's all new sixth-gen muscle car, along with cutaways of the new 2015 GT's 5.0-liter V8 and the new 2.3-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder shown above. Ford is set to make waves with these all new 2015 mustang engine options, the Mustang will have a turbo for the first time since the small-volume Ford Mustang SVO of the 1980s. Displacing 2.3 liters, the engine's twin-scroll turbo should help the four-cylinder turn out a projected 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while also returning the best fuel economy in the Mustang's engine lineup. For us the Eco-Boost is the exciting option becuase it will offer some great tuning options with simple changes to the turbo's and ECU tuners you will be able to get some really big horspower and torque numbers out of this pony for very reasonable money. There will also be a 3.7-liter V6 along with the 5.0-liter V8 which is receiving a new cylinder head with high-flow ports. The intake and exhaust valves are larger and the cams have been replaced along with other mods. It should rev even higher thanks to a rebalanced crankshaft and forged connecting rods. Ford is still claiming a projected 420 hp and 390 lb-ft, although as many of the changes for the 2015's V8 come from the 2013 Boss 302, we're going to assume there's some sandbagging at work. Finally, the transmissions have received some attention, with the six-speed manual from Getrag getting a new shift linkage, which should provide a shorter, crisper action. A new set of steering-wheel-mounted paddles on the auto trans will provide rev-matched shifts, although there's no word on how quickly it will swap cogs. Source:Autoblog.com
