Ford Considering New Twin Turbo EcoBoost V6 For 2010 Mustang
January 28th, 2008 by CobraMatt
Apparently Motor Trend is reporting Ford is seriously considering adding another V6 engine choice for the 2010 Mustang along with replacing the aged 4.6L with a 5.0L motor. The V6 engine choice would be the new Twin Turbo EcoBoost V6 engine that is scheduled to debut in a performance version of the Fusion. The TT EcoBoost V6 engine is capable of up to 415 horsepower and similar torque numbers of regular V8 engines. The reason Ford is contemplating the new V6 engine choice is to get a head start on meeting the 35mpg regulations by 2020. Nothing has been confirmed and it would be a long shot to see a twin turbo V6 in a Mustang but it does make sense.
On the V8 engine front MT is also reporting Ford will be replacing the aged 4.6L engine with a new 5.0L motor for the 2010 Mustang and we might even see the 5.0L engine in a limited run of Mustangs at the end of the 2009 model year. All this is great news if we could really get some cold hard facts to back it up. Until then we can all just cross our fingers and hope for the best.

Agreed theres no point in having a mustang if it isnt a v8, and a stock turbo makes me feel like an import, unless its aftermarket then its a diff story because most people put them in for performance
