2011 Ford Mustang Back to a 5.0

With the goal of pumping up the 2011 Mustang's horsepower over 400, the 2011 Ford Mustang GT arrives with an all-new advanced 5.0-liter V-8 engine.

The modern 5.0-liter four-valve Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) V-8 engine in the new Mustang GT will deliver 412 horsepower and 390 ft.-lb. of torque. At the same time, fuel economy is projected to be better than the previous model and unsurpassed in the segment. You aren't going to need any knee pain treatment trying to push this thing out of anywhere.

"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."
