2015 Mustang EcoBoost Under-Hood Shot Says Fewer Than 1,000 Words

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Evidently that’s not always the case because a recent photo of the engine of the new turbo EcoBoost engine for the Ford Mustang really tells us nothing about the car.

After some initial excitement over hearing what the car sounds like, about the only thing we can really make out from the photo is that the four-banger is covered up with a lot of plastic.

The image, posted on Reddit from a test mule, also shows that the engine block is pushed right up against the firewall, which is probably how they achieved that 52/48 front/rear weight distribution that should make this thing one hell of a ride on a racetrack.

The dealer employee’s Reddit post also says that the Ford rep said he’d been averaging 31 mpg in the car on the interstate with the air conditioning running.

As far as seeing more of that engine? Well, it looks like we’ll have to wait until some of the performance shops start seeing how much power Ford has left on the table. Until then, this might be the best view we’re going to get.
