Mustang EcoBoost

Have you ever thought of a Mustang having a 4-cylinder engine? “Only” 4-cylinders.

Yes, that is the 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost, equipped with a 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, good for 310hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. The 2015 Ford Mustang V6 engine is good for 300hp and 280 lb-ft of torque so you can get a good picture of how this new Mustang 2.3 EcoBoost can perform.

If you are considering this move from Ford as an attempt to downgrade the Mustang a little bit to save fuel and make it more affordable for consumers in Asia and Europe, you are totally wrong. In fact, for Mustang the 2.3L EcoBoost trim sits above the 3.7L V6 engine trim.

Now Ford is...

A lucky member at Mustang6G caught a mysterious 2015 Ford Mustang near Palm Springs, CA.

This is obviously a variant of the normal 2015 Ford Mustang GT, build by Shelby American, a company famous for its modified Ford vehicles, as well as performance parts.

The one we see here is probably a Mustang GT with the Shelby GT package. The package includes cosmetics upgrades for both exterior and interior, better (sportier) suspension setup. A small HP bump from the 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 is possible too.
