Over the years Ford has always thought that larger engines were the way, well times have changed due to the recession and higher gas prices. So Ford’s new plan consists of electric powertrains and smaller engines. Also turbocharging may be in the works also to keep up the horsepower. The big challenge for Ford is to meet new CAFE regulations and sell pickups/SUVs. The new law past by the Federal Government requires all vehicles to have an average of 35.5mpg in the year 2016. Ford’s new technology to do all this is called Eco Boost. The combination of fuel injection and turbocharging cars such as the Mustang will keep the car in the rankings. Ford’s first four cylinder will go on sale in 2010. Since I’m a big muscle car guy, I’m really wondering how much horsepower these engines will be making for the Ford Mustang. I’m definitely going to miss the sound of the V8 rumble, that’s what defined a muscle car back in the day.
