You don’t always have to give up performance in return for good fuel economy.
The Ford Mustang has an all-new 5.0-liter V8 engine that gives an amazing 412 Hp, with a fuel economy of 17 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.
“The 2011 Mustang continues to exceed expectations in every category, and these fuel economy numbers are another chapter in an incredible story,” said Derrick Kuzak, Ford's group vice president, Global Product Development.
The Mustang’s increased fuel economy and peak horsepower is possible with a new Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT), which can quickly adjust the intake and exhaust valves. A pair of new transmissions, both with six forward ratios and an all-aluminum construction, also play a large part in giving the 2011 Mustang GT the best fuel economy in its class.
