How much horsepower will the 2024 Mustang GT have?

Aug 02, 2022 at 3:42am ET Show Facing stricter emissions regulations, some cars lose power as engineers have no other way but to tweak the engine to comply with stricter legislation. A relevant example is the Ford Mustang California sold in Europe where it makes 10 hp and 30 lb-ft less than its North American equivalent. It was the same story with the Bullitt, and even the US-spec 'Stang has lost some ponies as the 2022MY came with 10 hp and 10 lb-ft less than the 2021MY. The silver lining is a new report from Ford Authority claiming the V8 version of the next-generation Mustang will come with extra oomph for the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter mill. The S650-gen model is said to have nearly 500 hp, which would represent a bump of almost 30 hp compared to the current Mach 1 and a substantial 50 hp over the GT. At the moment of writing, it's not known which of the two flavors will have this output. Another piece of the puzzle we're currently missing is the torque number, which currently stands at 410 pound-feet (558 Newton-meters) for both the GT and Mach 1. The V8 is said to be a carryover rather than an all-new engine, much like the smaller 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder unit. Ford CEO Jim Farley has strongly suggested a stick shift will remain available for the Mustang by putting a #SaveTheManuals hashtag in a tweet announcing the 'Stang will debut on September 14 at the Detroit Auto Show. Although prototypes spotted thus far have been heavily camouflaged, it is believed the exterior styling will be evolutionary rather than revolutionary. More significant changes will take place inside the cabin where the 2024 Mustang is set to receive a new digital instrument cluster and infotainment, along with a redesigned flat-bottomed steering wheel and a revamped center console. While an all-wheel-drive system has reportedly been ruled out, the iconic sports car could get a hybrid powertrain further down the line. It is believed Ford intends to sell the S650 for about eight years, with a wild rumor from Autoline claiming an electric Mustang is set to enter production in December 2028 when the ICE-powered variant will be discontinued altogether. Meanwhile, the upcoming Mustang – expected as a 2024 model year – is going to be manufactured at the same Flat Rock Assembly Plant as part of a wider $3.7 billion investment into US production, including the next-gen Ranger at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne. The Pony Car Is Alive And Well:
Every Dark Horse rides on MagneRide adaptive dampers that buoy 19-inch wheels mounted on Pirelli P Zero PZ4 summer tires. The standard rims measure 9.5 inches wide up front and 10.0 inches wide out back, but those widths increase to 10.5 and 11.0 inches, respectively, with the optional Handling package that brings super-sticky Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS rubber. The package also includes stiffer springs, thicker front and rear sway bars, and a rear wing with a Gurney flap for more downforce. Even without the Handling package, all Dark Horses have Brembo six-piston fixed front calipers that clamp 13.9-inch rotors. Deep Indigo BlueInside, the Dark Horse benefits from the same redesigned, tech-centric cabin that debuted on other 2024 Mustangs. That means a digitized dashboard that combines a 12.4-inch digital gauge cluster and a 13.2-inch touchscreen. The latter features the latest Sync 4 interface that has been reskinned specifically for the Mustang, and it also accepts over-the-air updates. While the interior layout and features—like the new electronic drift brake that lets novices cosplay as Vaughn Gittin Jr.—aren't unique to the Dark Horse, its blue interior accents and glossy dark metallic trim pieces are. Ford also offers an appearance package that adds Deep Indigo Blue seats with special perforations. Ford hasn't yet said how much the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse will cost, but we think it'll start around $60,000, which is a few thousand more than the current 2022 Mustang Mach 1. We expect the Dark Horse to go on sale sometime next summer. This content is imported from poll.
