We have been reporting on the more solid of news that has eeked out here and there about the next generation 2014-2015 Mustang. As we reported last October, the next Mustang will be lighter and smaller, more efficient to meet stringent new emissions and efficiency regulations brought on by the Obama Administration.
While it is sad our own government of the people, by the people feels the need to step on our American icons in such a heavy handed way, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel when the ingenuity of our American spirit and talent come to fore.
Our friends at Motor Authority are reporting that indeed a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine may very well be in the works for the 2014-2015 Mustang as we had hinted last October. They report that Ford may be developing a 2.3 liter version of the 240hp 2.0 liter EcoBoost turbocharged four.
That engine is coming soon to the Ford Focus ST, Explorer, Taurus, and Edge. The direct injected engine is built to ultra-high strength standards and offers considerable power with top efficiency. It would be an engine likely to be used as a base engine for the new slimmed down Mustang 3 as it has been loosely termed.
