2018 Ford Mustang Specifications
The biggest change Ford has made to the engine lineup is the decision to drop the V6. So, the 2108 Mustang will only be available with either a 2.3 L EcoBoost engine or a 5.0 L V8. Also, the oft criticised 6-speed automatic transmission has been replaced by a new 10-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox. Ford claims it provides “provides more accurate, quicker upshift and downshift capability”.
The V8 powering the current model makes 435 HP and 400 Nm in the American-spec. In India, it has been detuned to produced 401 PS. Official power and torque figures of the 2018 Ford Mustang have not been revealed yet.
