2018 Mustang can get 32 MPG


Recommended Posts

And to add (like my best-friends husband who had a mid-life crisis and bought a GT but drives like an old lady), if your hitting those numbers, you just ain't enjoying your vehicle. So I fly by them on the street happily as I'm doing 13MPG in my LS LOL.... Ce la vie...

So will we ever see a TTV6 Mustang or has that been cleverly left for Fusion Sport?

Never is a long time, but there's currently no slot for those mills in the Mustang line. The EB27 V6 in the Edge and the EB23 I4 in the Mustang have about the same output, and the V8 is what makes a Mustang GT a Mustang GT and a GT350 a GT350, so it doesn't really matter how the EB35 performs. TTV6 just isn't in the nature of the car, just like the V12 they tested in the Mustang back in the early 2000s.

 

ETA: I missed the EB27 in the Fusion Sport. It actually has better numbers than the Edge, but not drastically better than the EB23 in the Stang.

The 2.3EB tops out at 320 lb/ft. The 2.7LEB in the F150 tops out at 400 lb/ft. That’s a significant difference, although it is pretty close to the 5.0L GT. I think a SVT tuned 3.0LEB could slot above the 5.0L at 475 hp if they wanted to push it that far.

In the 2018 Mustang, the 2.3EB tops out at 350lb/ft.

On a different subject...

Power packs for the 2015-2017 5.0 GT increased horsepower form 435 hp to 472 hp.

 

I wonder what Ford has planned for the 460 hp '18 5.0 GT...could we see 480-490 hp?

Imagine that in front of a 10 speed auto GT......

Well it looks like another Bullett Mustang is on its way...and that would be a great application of that, just like the previous generations.
