Unless they used a version of the 3.5L Ecoboost that they're using for the Ford GT in WEC and the Weathertech Series, I doubt it'll be a V6. They just don't have time to do the development, and the GT's engine is probably too expensive for Supercars, given the focus on reducing costs in the sport and Ford's inability to provide full factory support.Here’s hoping they will be V8s and not V6, especially given Holden has paused or abandoned their V6 race motor development. Media reports are divided 50/50 it seems, V6 twin turbo vs V8 being destined for the Mustangs.
Only one more sleep before we find out, it happens on the anniversary of the announcement of the original Mustang, 17th of April 1964. Tune into the Ford Australia Facebook page, just before 11am: https://www.facebook.com/FordAustralia/videos/10157502459103747/?q=ford australia
It would be based on the 3.5 V6 I would think. It might be expensive though, as you suggest. Maybe they will start with a V8 and introduce the V6 later, as Holden is/was planning.Unless they used a version of the 3.5L Ecoboost that they're using for the Ford GT in WEC and the Weathertech Series, I doubt it'll be a V6.

I just really wish I could watch Supercars in the States without using the awful Supercars app, or watching the replays a month later (and completely watered down).
