The 2018 Mustang GT and EcoBoost power figures have just been released and the updated pony car just raised the performance bar in a significant way.
The 2018 Mustang GT will make 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, right where most of us expected the power bump to land. That doesn’t tell the whole story however, as Ford reports the vehicle will be able to accelerate from 0-to-60 mph in under four seconds when equipped with the new 10-speed automatic transmission and using the new Drag Strip mode.
This makes the 2018 Mustang GT not only the fastest standard Mustang ever, but also faster than vehicles multitudes of its price, including a Porsche 911 Carrera.
The 2018 Mustang EcoBoost also also gets dramatically improved performance thanks to a big torque increase of 30 lb.-ft over the current model. In Drag Strip mode with Performance Package and the 10-speed automatic, the 2018 EcoBoost Mustang posts an impressive 0-to-60 mph time of under five seconds.
