It has been a long wait, but Ford is bringing back the 5.0 Mustang for 2011! Right now, Ford offers the base V6 model or the GT V8 model, in addition to the amazing Shelby GT version with a supercharged V8 engine. With the return of the 5.0-liter V8 engine, Ford is making the Mustang lineup even more impressive and dynamic.
Cartips.com offered a little insight to what you can expect with the return of the 5.0-liter 2011 Ford Mustang:
Finally the return of the 5 Liter Mustang! This brand new 5.0L-powered Mustang will pump out 412 ponies and 390 lb-ft of torque. To get all of the power to the ground you get the option of either a 6 speed automatic or a 6 speed manual transmission. All of that and a estimated fuel economy of 25 miles to the gallon?
“This all-new 5.0-liter engine is the next chapter in the development of the world-class Mustang powertrain portfolio,” said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development. “It’s a thoroughly modern engine for the times, delivering the performance and fun-to-drive factor that enthusiasts want, while improving fuel economy.”
