In a release today, Ford Motor said that all seventh-generation 2024 Mustang engines will have more horsepower, starting with the Dark Horse rated at 500. It has a fourth-generation Coyote V8 engine with 500 horsepower and 418 ft.-lb. of torque* to set a new high for Mustang street and track performance, and the most powerful non-Shelby edition ever.
The Coyote engine was upgraded to include a balanced crankshaft and forged piston connecting rods – the latter first introduced in the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 – to handle higher cylinder pressures and piston speeds. Mustang Dark Horse also has strengthened camshafts for track-durability needs, including extended operation closer to its 7500-rpm redline.
Those buying or leasing the standard Mustang GT get 480 horsepower* — the most standard power in a naturally aspirated V8-powered Mustang ever. In addition, the engine delivers 415 ft.-lb. for the most standard ever.**
The fourth-generation Coyote V8 has a claimed a segment-first, dual intake and dual throttle body induction system that’s matched with structural improvements and upgraded oil pan. This helps minimize induction loss by enabling higher air flow rates. For Mustang GT and Mustang Dark Horse, horsepower and torque ratings are the same for automatic and manual transmissions.
2024 Mustang EcoBoost with half the V8’s cylinders – the 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine is rated at 315 horsepower*, the most standard power in a four- or six-cylinder Mustang ever. In addition, the engine delivers 350 ft.-lb. of torque. Mustang EcoBoost also has an optional active-valve performance exhaust system, which apparently makes it louder.
The EcoBoost coupe and convertible have a new engine uses Ford’s new Modular Power Cylinder (MPC) engine architecture, and is targeted (Ford Likely needs the CAFE offsets) to have improved EPA-estimated fuel economy compared to the outgoing model year***. It uses a new Bore to Stroke ratio, direct Port Fuel injection, variable cam timing, integrated Exhaust Gas Recirculation and Twin Scroll turbocharging.
The 2024 Mustang coupe and convertible models go on sale in the U.S. starting in the summer of 2023 and are assembled at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Flat Rock, Mich.#
