It seems inevitable that Ford's mighty Mustang is going to get an EcoBoost engine.
That's what product chief Derrick Kuzak said on Monday night at an event following the first day of the Detroit auto show, more than hinting that the iconic pony car has EcoBoost ethos on the horizon.
“That would probably be a very safe bet at some point in the near future,” he said.
Kuzak didn't specify which engine could wind up under the hood of the Mustang, though EcoBoost is offered in four- and six-cylinder variants in the United States. The most powerful V6 version makes 365 hp, and it's sold in the Taurus SHO and the F150.
EcoBoost in the Mustang has been a long, relatively open rumor around Ford for years, and execs have always maintained that the technology would become commonly used through out most of its lineup, though never pinpointing the 'Stang.
Ford just updated the car for the 2013 model year, increasing the GT to 420 hp and upping the Shelby GT500 to an eye-popping 650 hp with a 200-mph-plus top speed.
and here's the 2013 GT-CS.
