The author of Hagerty’s article, Bozi Tatarevic, said, “Ford sources say that we are working on a new, more powerful turbocharged engine.” Cooler forecast Said that Ford hopes to have a better competitor Chevrolet Camaro 1LE, the bow pony car gets 335 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque from the V6. Ford’s four-cylinder beats Chevrolet’s four-cylinder, while Chevrolet’s six-cylinder leads by 25 horsepower, but is 66 pound-feet behind Ford’s four-cylinder, and the Camaro on the V6 base is $1,105 more expensive than the Mustang base.
Nevertheless, the Mustang still has a significant gap in terms of price and power. Ford gave up the 335-horsepower Cyclone V6 in the 2018 model, leaving a difference of $8,960 between the 310-horsepower four-cylinder and the 460-horsepower Coyote V8. Ford Performance sells a performance calibration kit for a 2.3-liter model for $867, an increase of 25 horsepower and 70 pound-feet, but this obviously only applies to 2015-2017 models. The EcoBoost performance package currently available on the Mustang configurator does not increase performance. At the same time, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the Focus RS has many of the same components as the Ford Focus RS, and can produce a 350 horsepower and 350 pound-feet square Focus RS.
