Leaking News of the New 2011 412 Horsepower Mustang GT

That’s right, you heard it! 412hp at 6500 RPM is what this true 5.0L V8 will be making. I say true since the 5.0L’s of the past were really 4.9L. The torque will also be a whopping 390 lb-ft.

Thanks to a lightweight aluminum block and 4 valves for each cyclinder with both the intake and exhaust valves being electronically variably controlled, this new found power was made possible. Ford will be offering both manual and automatic transmissions in the 2011 Ford Mustang GT and both will be a six speed. Although the number is uncertain, expect to see the fuel economy on the highway sitting around 25mpg.
