Earlier reports that the 2015 Ford Mustang will get a turbocharged 4-cylinder EcoBoost exclusively for the European market have turned out to be false. That turbo 4-banger is headed to America too.

When the 2015 Ford Mustang hits American dealerships, it’ll be offered with a 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine as an option – and chances are, that won’t be the base model engine. The American automaker has shown throughout its lineup that its EcoBoost engines are a premium upgrade and will continue to do so with its sports car.
As we speculated earlier, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost that will show up in the 2015 ‘Stang will be a larger variant of the 2.0-liter currently found in the Focus ST. But with its larger displacement, it’s expected to push out over 300 hp. Considering that the current base engine 3.7-liter V6 has 305 hp, the EcoBoost offering should improve on that number. Of course, true Mustang enthusiasts will continue to embrace the top-of-the-line V8.

Despite probably being a very capable engine, I'll bet Mustang purists will scowl at the thought of a 4-cylinder under the hood of a Mustang.
 
la mustang sera commercialisé en UK aussi avec le seul moteur disponible...ce 4cyl ecoboost, excepté la shelby gt500.. par contre si ont peut comparé avec le ecoboost deja dispo en europe dans la focus avec le 1.0 3cyl, qui marche plus que le 160hp 4cyl presentement , peut-être que sa peut etre intéressant en plus de la pesanteur du vehicule qui sera moindre mais un son plutot ordinaire
..
 
Who cares about whats under the hood as a second option, as long as there is still a very capable V8 available like the 5-0?

Granted that the image of a Mustang is one of power, sound and v8 rumbling, that I totally agree but I never really understood why mustang fans always despised other engines? Are you the one thats driving it? I also understand that the 4liter and 3,8 v6 were shitty engines but with the 3.7, people should stop focusing on v8 or nothing.

People should view the mustang as a capable platform thats available in multiple engines. A 4 cyl. turbo in a mustang is a good option to me. Just as long as they go forward with the v8s.

Bottom line, a mustang to me is a two doors RWD car that has a decent platform. Thats it. So why make a big fuss out of v6s and 4 cyls?
 
Le v6 et maintenat le 4cyl turbo seront sans doute de bon moteur. C juste l'image de la mustang sans le V8 que bien du monde donc moi on de la misere a adopter.

Pourquoi ford sort pas un modele coupe plus petit RWD et la ne mette pas le 6cyl ou le 4cyl turbo la on pourais parler de quelque chose!

Sortir un petit vehicule le nommer RS quelque chose et foutre le 3.7 dans le troue la je serais acheteur et sa tirerais pour vrai!
 
^And the aftermarket.

I agree, Also, with all these manufacturing going turbo, you are going to see a reemergence of the car tuning scene!!!
 
turbo mustang ... just to keep up with the competition !!! sa remonte a loin la derniere mustang turbo qu'il ont fais... avec le 2.3T

I had one of those, but the Mercury branded "RS Turbo" model. Mine was actually almost like this one minus the hatchback cover and the T-Top. Same color, 1981.

I scrapped it after the lower part of the block cracked, spewing coolant all over my parents driveway. The car had 170.000kms which by today's standards would be "quite acceptable."
 
I wonder if they'll call it the SVO...

la Mustang SVO etait tellement differente de la Mustang 23.T que Ford la considerait comme un modele a part
un retour d'une SVO serait vraiment bienvenue ca tenait la route comme une voiture europeenne

Y'avait la Probe, bonne petite auto sportive.
 
If they price it right then it will sell like candy, just like the V6 did. Smart move to up sales.
