It is widely expected that the new 2.3L EcoBoost engine in the 2015 Ford Mustang will eventually replace the 3.7L V6 as the base model engine, there is still plenty of room in the Mustang lineup for a V6 engine – packing EcoBoost power and sitting in the middle of the engine lineup.
Production of the 2014 Ford Mustang officially ended this past weekend so with the start of the new week comes the start of the retooling process required to prepare the Flat Rock Assembly Plant for production of the 2015 Ford Mustang.
This past weekend marked the third event of the 2015 Red Bull Global RallyCross event with the Volkswagen Rallycross DC and for the first time this season, Scott Speed and his VW failed to take the win as Ford Fiesta racers claimed each of the top four spots after both VW teams ran into engine problems.
It was announced recently that the SRT Viper would become the Dodge Viper in the near future as the Chrysler Group discontinues to standalone SRT brand and to celebrate the return to Dodge, the two SRT Viper GTS-R race cars in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship will wear the livery of the unstoppable Team Oreca Dodge Vipers of the 1990s and early 2000s.
The supercharged LT4 V8 that will motivate the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 will be most powerful production engine from GM ever and unlike the previous generation super-Vette engines – the new LT4 will be built both at the Bowling Green Corvette plant and at the Tonawanda engine facility in New York.
The 2015 Ford Mustang will be the first marketing global, the fastest ever and the most efficient ever which is all very impressive, but what we have failed to consider thus far is that the next generation Mustang will also be the safest of the fabled pony cars with extensive safety innovations inside and out.
Yesterday we took a close look at the pricing and options for the 2015 Ford Mustang GT Premium Fastback and today, we price out the more affordable non-Premium GT Fastback, a model that packs all of the power and none of the frills so for those looking to go fast on a budget – this is your car.
Since the supercharger Hellcat Hemi was introduced for the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT, we have talked about the likelihood of seeing that monster motor in the Dodge Charger, the Chrysler 300C and the Dodge Viper, but we have failed to consider the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT – which would be the most powerful production SUV in the world.
After learning so much about the current Chevrolet Camaro and Corvette engine lineup over the past year, it seems like a fitting time to look back at an interesting list of engine name trademarks filed last year – revisiting my predictions from early 2013 and looking towards possible future engines.
While we have previously looked at the basic pricing breakdown for the 2015 Ford Mustang in all trims, the full configurator for the next generation Mustang is live on Ford’s site – giving us a chance to price out our dream 2015 Mustangs and begin trimming expenses for the big purchase.
The new Hellcat Hemi will make the 2015 Dodge Challenger one of the most powerful cars sold in America and that supercharged V8 could make the Dodge Charger the most powerful sedan sold in America – and I believe that it will – but not with a manual transmission.
The General Motors recall bug has now turned its attention to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, with 712 units fitted with the awesome Competition Seat option being recalled over a concern that the a side impact air bag might not work as expected – but with a collection of very odd and very vague variables.
The news that General Motors is recalling every single current generation Chevrolet Camaro hit yesterday as big news, but that is more because of the long list of ignition-based recalls in the past few months and the media frenzy surrounding those recalls and less because it poses a significant risk to owners – making this a much less critical recall for the owners than the one that pertains to the Chevrolet Cobalt.
Since the Dodge Viper was introduced in the early 90s, it has been powered by a V10 engine because the levels of power offered by that 10 cylinder mill weren’t available in a 50-state street legal V8, but with the introduction of the 600+ horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat – the new blown V8 could prove to be a proper V8 for the Mopar supercar.
