The new 2011 Ford Mustang V6 model brings a lot to the table in both power and fuel economy categories — 305 horsepower with 31 MPG for starters.
According to the Ford site, the new 3.7L 4V Ti-VCT V6 engine achieves an industry-exclusive 305 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft. of torque while delivering EPA-estimated 31 hwy MPG. That’s due in part to twin independent variable cam timing (TiVCT) which allows variable control of intake and exhaust camshafts. This capability optimizes combustion at full load to provide improved power and low speed torque. It also enables variable valve overlap, which provides better fuel economy and optimizes cold start operation with improved exhaust emissions.
