Is Ford getting ready to announce a 750 HP SVT Mustang?

CNN released an interesting quote the other day while discussing the new SRT Challenger Hellcat. Apparently, CNN has mentioned that a Ford rep has told them that the next ‘SVT Mustang’ will have ‘more HP than the Hellcat’.If that is the case, then we should all invest in firesuits and race helmets, because this next generation SVT should be stupid fast – and it is already rumored to weigh less than 3,500 lbs – , which is close to 1000 pounds less than the Hellcat Challenger – and the Hellcat just ran a 10.80 @ 126 in the 1/4 mile.

Also, it appears as if the once-rumored-dead 5.8L ‘Trinity’ motor, found in the 13/14 GT500 – could possibly make an appearance in the next gen SVT. It would make sense, because this engine already cranks out a dizzying 662 HP from the factory, and seemingly it wouldn’t take much for Ford to ‘tweak’ this motor to break the 750HP mark, which would re-establish Ford as king of the street legal land rockets.

Could we potentially see a 3500 lb, 750 HP SVT Mustang in 2016? Could we finally see a Mustang that runs a 9 second quarter mile from the factory? If your a fast car guy, this is a great time to be alive – especially if you are financially wealthy; Expect the next-gen SVT to be over the $70,000 mark, while the new Hellcat Challenger is rumored to be closer to $60,000.
Regardless, we will keep you posted as we find out more.

Ford announces official 2015 Mustang horsepower ratings - Road & Track

Ford first showed us the 2015 Mustang in December, and we’ve been on a slow information drip ever since. Pricing and juicy new Track Apps have trickled out but, alas, an official horsepower rating has remained conspicuously absent… until now.

Here are the official numbers, straight from Ford, "pending certification." For this sixth generation, the base 3.7-liter V6 model’s power rating drops from 305 hp to 300 hp. Torque holds steady at 280 lb-ft.

he GT, which uses a rowdier version of the outgoing 5.0-liter Coyote V8, now has 435 hp and 400 lb-ft of twist, up 15 hp and 10 lb-ft from its predecessor.

In EcoBoost guise, the 2015 Mustang offers 310 hp and 320 lb-ft torque from its 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder on 93-octane gasoline. It's a twin-scroll turbo—the first ever used on a Ford. Whether that will be enough to win over Pony purists is still to be determined.

The big discussion topic will doubtless be that the V6 has been dialed back, presumably to but more space between it and the step-up EcoBoost. As for the latter's 2.3 turbo, we have to believe there's plenty of upside left in that one, too.

Horsepower:

• Mustang Ecoboost: 310 hp, 320 lb-ft
• Mustang V-6: 300 hp, 280 lb-ft
• Mustang GT: 435 hp, 400 lb ft

Weight:

• Mustang EcoBoost: 3,532 lbs (1602kg) (manual), 3,524 lbs (1598kg) (automatic)
• Mustang V-6: 3,526 lbs (1599kg) (manual), 3,530 lbs (1601kg) (automatic)
• Mustang GT: 3,705 lbs (1680kg) (manual), 3,729 lbs (1691kg( (automatic)

A dianteira o novo está melhor, já a traseira...

Prefiro o antigo

Começam a ter medo que os carros não sejam reconhecidos ao longe, para terem os símbolos cada vez maiores. Que exagero, na frente do novo e na traseira de ambos

Ford Mustang terá caixa de 10 velocidades

A nova geração do Ford Mustang, com chegada prevista para o início de 2015, receberá uma caixa automática de 10 velocidades, em troca da atual de seis velocidades.

Segundo a Automotive News, a nova geração do Ford Mustang, que será vendida em Portugal em 2015, terá a transmissão automática de seis velocidades da atual geração substituída por uma caixa, também automática, de 10 relações.

Esta novidade será partilhada pelo grupo General Motors, enquanto os modelos da Ford de tração dianteira recorrerão a uma caixa automática de nove velocidades.

Isso não serão mudanças a mais?
Mesmo assim é bom ver os americanos a começarem a ter boas caixas automáticas.

Num stand da Ford falaram-me em 60 a 70 mil euros pelo Mustang...

Achei um bocado demais pelo 2.3 mas logo se vê.
