New 5.2-Liter V8 for S550 Confirmed?
It looks like we’ve gotten confirmation that the new SVT engine for the S550 will be a 5.2-liter V8.
A bit of information picked up from a Ford official parts site seems to confirm the engine spec for the higher-performance variant of the S550, according to a Mustang 6G report. The giveaway was some details spotted on the site for different quarter panels and brake equipment marked “MOD 5.2L-TiVCT PFI NA HP1 GAS, With SVT Performance Pack.”
While some are speculating how Ford let this bit of information leak, I’m inclined to think it might be more of a calculated marketing ploy to help build up the anticipation for the new SVT model.
If so, enough of the teases, Ford. Go ahead and release the full rundown on this thing so we can stop all the speculating.
