The 2011 Ford Mustang with its spanking new 5.0-liter V8 is proving to be the 2010 Detroit Show’s worst-kept secret, as following an earlier leak on its powertain specs, we now have the first official shots of the car and its engine. From what ‘dam crackers’ told us, the new 5.0 will deliver an output of around 412 ponies at 6,500 rpm and 390 lb-ft of torque, up from the current 4.6-liter V8′s 315HP and 325 lb-ft.
As previously reported, the V8 will be matched to your choice of a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, with the Mustang GT allegedly returning a fuel economy of 25mpg (9.4lt/100km), most likely on the highway.
Ford is expected to release initial details and pictures of the 2011 Mustang GT early next week.
