- Ford has announced official power figures for the new 2024 Mustang.
- The base 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder produces 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque.
- The optional 5.0-liter V-8 ranges from 480 hp in the base GT to 500 hp in the Dark Horse performance model.
Ford lights a fuse in the Coyote V-8 in the new 2024 Mustang, with the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine tuned to make between 480 hp and 500 hp in the redesigned pony car. The 500-hp figure is for the top Dark Horse performance model, but even the 480-hp 2024 Mustang GT will produce more power than the previous Mach 1, which was rated at 470 hp for 2023 (it was originally rated at 480 hp). for 2021).
Mustang Dark Horse
The revised V-8 produces 480 horsepower and 415 pound-feet in the base Mustang GT, a healthy increase compared to the 450 hp for the previous base GT. Adding an optional performance exhaust increases those figures to 486 hp and 418 pound-feet. The V-8 in the Dark Horse benefits from a different crankshaft and forged connecting rod pistons, and output tops out at 500 hp and 418 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission will come standard on the GT, with a ten-speed automatic optional.
Meanwhile, the base four-cylinder EcoBoost engine has not changed much from before. It now produces 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. That’s 5 hp more than the previous base Mustang, but less power than the 330 hp of the previous EcoBoost Performance Package. Unfortunately, the EcoBoost Mustang will also not be available with a manual transmission, meaning that the four-cylinder car will only come with a ten-speed automatic transmission.
We still don’t know the price of the 2024 Mustang, but production for the coupe and convertible models will begin in the summer of 2023.
