In Detail

You might be wondering exactly what Ford was thinking when they decided to again put a 2.3 liter 4 cylinder engine in a Mustang (remember the econobox Ford Pinto derived Mustang 11) ? Sure, we get it. A small engine with great fuel economy, but you pay for the mpg in lousy performance and a noisy, high strung little engine. Nope. Not this time. Even with a vehicle weight of 3,532 lbs, this turbocharged inline four, churns out an extremely surprising 310 horsepower, and even more surprising 320 lt-ft of torque.
