The fact that you wanted to know about the new Ford Mustang, and that we already know, is not its price

Posted on

One can start to get impatient for not knowing the price of the new Ford Mustang, information that will affect, or not, against its acclaimed price-power ratio. But the one we were suffering the most for was its power, a figure that the oval house did not reveal with the launch of the muscle car and which despaired as it was a new generation that maintains the naturally aspirated engine. Luckily you can breathe easy now, petrolheadbecause the new Ford Mustang already has power figures at the declare 507 hp in its Dark Horse variant487 hp in the GT and 319 hp for the four-cylinder EcoBoost.

Thus, the American sports car establishes a new milestone in the automotive annals by establishing itself as the Mustang, without being modified by Shelby, most powerful in history. And it is that it is not for less, since being a naturally aspirated engine, obtaining more power is more complicated than in a supercharged one, but we are going to know all the details.

More than 500 CV for the new Ford Mustang

It is true that in heart and chassis the new Mustang does not change much, but it is not something that should overwhelm us, especially when we realize that the marriage of a manual transmission with an atmospheric V8 is practically extinct if it were not for our protagonist. In this way, the biggest claim of the Ford Mustang continues to be its GT variant, also starring an eight-cylinder in “V” 5.0-liter engine that develops 487 hp and 563 Nm of torquefigures that can be orchestrated by a manual transmission.

It should be clarified that in this version it will be possible to flirt even more closely with 500 CV if we opt for an optional exhaust system capable of not only improving the tune of the Coyote engine, but also raising its power to 493 CV and 567 Torque Nm But the high point, for now, is found in The Ford Mustang Dark Horsemost powerful variant of the Mustang to date.

This continues to boast the same 5.0-liter V8, but the power rises to 507 hp. This is possible thanks to forged connecting rods, a specific crankshaft, reinforced camshaft and increased injection cut-off up to 7,500 rpm. Thus, the Dark Horse occupies the role that the Mustang Mach 1 and Bullitt once played, although this does not prevent us from knowing throughout the life of this latest installment of the muscle car plus special editions.

On a more secondary level we find the Ford Mustang EcoBoost, a variant that we remember was withdrawn from sale in Europe since customers opted in most cases for the V8. However, Ford maintains it for other markets in which it does work, also displaying a 2.3-liter turbo four-cylinder that, for the occasion, produces 319 hp and 475 Nm of torque.

Now, will this one try again in the old continent? At the moment Ford has not confirmed it, just as it has not talked about a date of arrival of the new Mustang in Europe. Be that as it may, and taking into account the calendar that the oval firm manages for the entry into action of its spoiled child in North America, summer of 2023, we can intuit that We will see the Ford Mustang in these parts well into 2024.

There is no news of its price eitherAlthough an increase compared to the previous generation should not surprise us, not only because of the improvements it presents, but also because of the inflation that is being experienced. Thus, it would not be unreasonable to find a Ford Mustang Dark Horse exceeding the barrier of 60,000 euros, a GT exceeding 50,000 euros and an EcoBoost flirting with 45,000 euros.
