Ford’s achingly slow rollout of final details on the 2015 Mustang, from pricing to unique features to choices availability, is ultimately coming to a head. The automaker has at long last revealed output figures for every single of the pony car’s 3 offered engines, and they’re not wildly diverse from our estimates. Ford also released technical information for the Mustang’s V-6, turbocharged EcoBoost 4-cylinder, and V-8 engines, as well as weight figures for coupes equipped with the engines.
Here are the output figures, model by model:
Mustang 3.7-liter V-6: 300 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, option of 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
Mustang 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4: 310 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque, choice of 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
Mustang 5.-liter V-8: 435 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, selection of 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
A handful of key takeaways from the numbers listed above: The V-6 sees its peak-horsepower figure drop by 5 ponies relative to the 2014 model’s V-6, while the V-8′s horsepower and torque enhance by 15 and 10. The 8’s power increase comes largely by way of improvements cribbed from the now-defunct Mustang Boss 302′s version of the same 5.-liter Coyote V-7 The intake and exhaust valves are larger, the camshafts and pistons have been revised, the valve springs stiffened, and a forged crankshaft and connecting rods were fitted to support greater engine speeds. The cylinder heads are new and function reduce-restriction intake and exhaust porting.
Happily, our reporting on the 2015 Mustang’s curb-weight increases was spot-on: The new ‘Stang is only marginally heavier than the outgoing model. Especially, Ford’s claimed curb weights reveal that the V-6 manual coupe carries just 30 additional pounds (for a total of 3526 pounds), whilst the automatic-equipped version gains 12 pounds (for a total of 3530). The V-8–powered GT coupe gains 87 pounds in manual type (for a total of 3705 pounds) and 54 pounds in automatic guise (for a total of 3729 pounds). The EcoBoost is claimed to weigh almost the identical as the V-6 version, at 3532 pounds with the manual and 3524 with the automatic. No official weight figures for the Mustang convertible were supplied, but a prior leak of info indicates that they’ll weigh roughly 120 pounds a lot more, regardless of engine.
The weight figures probably imply that 2015 Mustangs with the carry-over engines ought to execute pretty significantly the very same as their predecessors in a straight line, which is to say they’ll be plenty swift. Of course, we’re curious to measure the overall performance of the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost version, offered its impressive torque benefit more than the V-6. We’ll have to wait for a full test of each model to draw final conclusions, but we’re not seeing something to make us significantly less excited to drive Dearborn’s newest pony.
