Under the hood of Ford's latest Mustang

Ford's seventh-generation Mustang is continuing the tradition of improving the breed with each iteration. While the changes under the skin may seem incremental, the 2024 Mustang has been bred to deliver an even higher level of performance. The engines from the previous pony have been carried forward, with the 2.3-L EcoBoost 4-cyl. serving as the base powerplant and the 5.0-L Coyote V8 continuing as the GT's mill.

The EcoBoost I-4 remains SAE-rated at 315 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 350 lb-ft. (475 Nm), which matches the outgoing entry-level Mustang's output. However, there have been some significant hardware changes to the ancillaries and engine internals.
