The all new sixth generation Ford Mustang for North America equipped with the new 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine will offer 310bhp and 433Nm of torque, while the Mustang equipped with a muscular 5.0-litre V8 engine, also for the North American market, will generate 435bhp with 541Nm of torque.

While both engine options will be made available to customers in the U.K., Ford will announce at a later date final specification and details for the Europe bound fastback and convertible models, as the galloping pony goes on sale for the first time next year.

The new 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine was designed specifically for the new Mustang, to meet the needs of drivers looking for outstanding performance and fuel efficiency.

The newest member of Ford's EcoBoost engine family continues to take advantage of state-of-the-art technologies including direct fuel injection, twin independent variable camshaft timing and turbocharging.

With fully independent suspension systems front and rear, and Ford's integral link rear suspension technology, the new Mustang will be more nimble and comfortable, achieving world-class performance in both dynamics and ride quality. Each individual suspension and handling component have been specifically modified and tuned to deliver improved mechanical grip.

Lightweight aluminum is used for the bonnet and front wings to help reduce body mass and improve the weight balance. Even parts made of steel and other materials have been intelligently designed to meet the performance standards while keeping weight down.

In addition, the automaker has announced standard fit brake and chassis performance packages for Europe Mustang models, which includes additional cooling capability for track day durability and, among other tweaks, a unique tuning for ABS, electronic stability control and an electric power-assisted steering.
