Ford has been running a TV commercial "THE ECOBOOST CHALLANGE" it show cases the F-150 and Focus. During the intro for the spot it shows a race track with a few Ford's driving around, I did notice a GTHIG 2013 Mustang in the group. The Stahg is in the backgroud in a few of the shots of the other cars, could it be a ECOBOOST mustang? or just a 5.0 at the same event?

I believe I read ford will have a ecoboost 4 cyclinder turbo with around 300hp for 2015....But I could also be wrong, but I swear I just read that somewhere lol

You did....there have been strong rumors of a base 4 cylinder Mustang; eco-boost would make sense for it as well.

No word on front wheel drive yet!

I don't think we will see the chainsaw engine in the GT anytime soon.

Shelby08

No, but I heard word of a sedan model...

I tell you what... if Ford would take a page from the Cadillac handbook and put that 5.0 and rear wheel drive into a new Fusion... I'd be all over that. That new Fusion looks good inside and out, and if it had the power to back it up, it would be one sick ride.

I think they're blowing it on the engines. They sould provide

3.7 N/A at 305hp
3.7 ecoboost at 350hp
5.0 N/A at 420hp
5.0 ecoboost at 650hp

There is no plane of existence where a 4-cyl Mustang is desirable in the US. In the lighter 2015 chassis, all engines would get better mileage.

Just get a 2015 Mustang - it's probably going to look like more like a Fusion that a Mustang anyway...

The ECO 4cyl is going to be for the European market on a niche car basis with limited production but they are still toying with the US market getting it as well. Last I read on Motortrend anyway.

i would buy an ecoboost 5.0 at 650hp if it looked like a fusion or not lol.

Shelby08

I agree completely! The new fusion looks like a monster, and they're pretty quick, but a 5.0 in one I may consider over a mustang....

G Wrecks

I knew I wasn't alone! Think G8, CTS-V, M5, Fusion 5.0... It sounds good right?

Shelby08

That would be great! Compete on that front as well! The fusion looks so badass that it needs to happen!!

For those in doubt about the possible EchoBoost engine being put in a Mustang. This is the 365hp, twin turbo, AWD, Taurus vs a 5.0 Mustang...

The title says 2010 mustang!! 5.0 is 2011 am I missing something? and that mustang driver lost the race at the green light not during the race.

focsu st is faster then a 2013 v6 mustang

I just went back to the post on the EchoBoost Owners Forum, and it states it is a 5.0 Mustang. That was all the information I had. The post does not show the title bar with the 2010 info in it.

If the owner of the Mustang is on the forum, perhaps they could chime in.

My reason for posting wasn't to dump on the Mustang, but to show the EchoBoost is not a dog, and really should be given a chance, if Ford decides to go that route. I was impressed a 4400lb+ AWD Taurus could muster that power. Imagine if the engine was in the new Mustang, which is supposed to lighter then the current model.
