Latest Drivetrain and Horsepower Speculation?

[Clemson]

Just like the 17 GT and Raptor.

GT car cant really be used here, completely irrelevant comparison. And there are plenty of folks displeased with the V6 in the Raptor. Your halo mustang with a V6? The king of muscle cars with a turbo v6? Nah man.

It's just a guess. If I'm wrong nobody will die.

What's the 22 cups mean?

 

[TERMN8U]

Knock it off! Your scaring me....

 

[Eatonualive281]

Ford would be dumb not to take this opportunity to introduce a V8 Ecoboost.

 

[redlineit]

What's the 22 cups mean?

22 cups=5.2L

 

[AustinSN]

22 cups=5.2L

Wow.

I can't believe I missed that.

 

[Malern28us]

It roars with greater than 8/7 a Hellcat from 22 cups.

I took this to mean 800 hp/700 ft-lbs out of 5.2 liters....

"Ecoboost" GT500 sounds like a vegan spec Muscle car something Nancy Pelosi would approve of. Perhaps they can make it run on bio-fuel!

 

[TERMN8U]

Thanks for the explainationn

 

[ZOMBEAST]

I took this to mean 800 hp/700 ft-lbs out of 5.2 liters....

Could also mean 707 Hellcat HP multiplied by 8/7.

That would equal 808 HP. Oh shit! Didn't someone post that number?

You're welcome.

That's how I took it.

I'm going to guess a modified version of the Ford GT 3.5 Eco boost with a dual clutch and a Mustang first, AWD.

If its AWD, I would have to get one. Would instantly create its own class of musclecar.

 

[Papaw]

If they go V6 then they may as well throw in a battery and make it a hybrid.

 

[TK1299]

I think it's this

 

[SID297]

I think it's this

That's pretty close.

Those talking turbos, look at a V8 S550 and tell me how you hang twin turbos in the engine bay in an OEM fashion.



I will say that it is 100% the car some have been waiting for.

While I'd love twin turbos, I've always shared your concern and think the AMG, et.al. European performance TT V8s packaging in the 'hot V' is the only plausible way.
The TVS2650 just seems so much easier.

[TERMN8U]

Did you forget something... ? Lol

 

[TERMN8U]

Would love a "hot v".
