2015 mustang s550
- Thread starter ROUSH 4
- Start date
It looks like the new mustang will have the 4 cylinder option in the US sales market. Will this engine option help sales of the NEW Mustang S550 in the US ?4 cyl ecoboost turbo would be a fun daily driver. Ford has to offer the v8 too keep its gear heads loyal. If I were in the market for a 2015 and they didn't offer a v8, I would not buy one. Just the way it is and ford knows this. I expect a full change in chasis, body, engine and creature comforts and also a hefty price tag.
Ford needs to have a gear head version, no fancy crap that we don't need. Sync, iPod crap, 40 different ac/heat settings, a radio that can communicate with your home and NASA. Kind of like the cobra jet but street legal with a few comforts.

That is one reason why I love the Boss so much, no fancy shit just a great driving car with some good performance.
Although when I get a Boss I will miss talking to the people on the Space station, those cosmonauts and I have gotten quite close over these last couple of weeks.

I think it's only logical Ford does it, mostly due to the new CARB and fleet fuel regulations. Quick simple maths show since the EcoBoost 4 would raise the fleet MPG of the Mustang line ford wouldn't have to "Tax" those in the GT and higher trims hence keep price down. Also if its out at or near launch think of how much it would bloody up Camaro and Challenger sales, which neither will probably add a 4 anytime soon plus neither really have a potent 4 cylinder engine that compares to that from the Focus ST. And now aside from giving the other 2 from Detroit a proper thrashing, it has a powerplant to run with the Europeans, plus it fits the entire Global platform idea 1 car same engine world wide. And finally with over 300 HP and drastically reduced weight, and a IRS, and lets figure with prcing where the base V6 would go to around 23,000 and a ecoboost option is about a $3000 premium, that would make the "SVO" around $26,000 which then you can fo doughnuts around a Subayota BFR-SZ while giving the international sign for Winner!
