Ford gets new V8 engine from USA

May 19, 2010

UNLESS you’ve been summering in Moscow, you’ll know that Ford Australia’s venerable Boss 5.4-litre V8 has fallen victim to stricter Euro IV emissions regulations that come into force on July 1, and will be replaced by an all-new 5.0-litre V8, dubbed ‘Coyote’ and developed by Ford USA.

Wheels has driven the 2011 Ford Mustang, the world’s first Coyote V8-powered Ford, and it’s an absolute cracker. Said our Stateside correspondent: “With its flat torque delivery, steel-cut snarl, and incredibly smooth wind-up to its 7000rpm redline, the 5.0-litre feels more like a European gran turismo thruster than a Detroit donk.

And once again the release has been pushed back. Lots of talk about the torque roflmbo.gif and the drivline not being able to handle it...pooh.gif

The truth is they cant get the TC or DSC to work with it either....... lets hope they share the love when they finally do get the calibration right on it.

" the 5.0-litre feels more like a European gran turismo thruster than a Detroit donk."

Kinda makes you wonder why you would bother... Isnt half the story of buying one of these all about the "Detroit Donk" feeling?? :icon_ford:

Smick, rough spitting engines are for classic cars. These days, smooth performance is in, even for muscle cars. Besides, the loose interior panels of the Mustang will give it that Detroit character in no time.
