My dream is that Ford breaks the Mustang into different markets by using engine choices and performance mapping/tuning to make the model’s personalities distinct. The option packages would be unique to each engine lineup in order to push that model’s market focus.
2.3L Ecoboost I4 Sport (310 hp, $25k), Premium (310 hp, $29k), and ST (350 hp, $32K). [Entry Level Luxury Coupe Focus]
2.7L Ecoboost V6 Sport (340 hp, $30,500), Premium (340 hp, $34,500), and RS (3.5L, 390hp, $38,500). [Sportscar Focus]
5.0L GT V8 Sport (435 hp, $36K), Premium (435 hp, $40k), and SVT (470 hp, $44k). [Grand Touring Focus]
5.2L Shelby GT350 (526 hp, $49k), GT350R (526 hp, $62k) [Track Focus]
5.0L Shelby GT500 (680 hp, $57k), GT500 KR (750 hp, $73k) [Muscle Focus]
Something like this, I’m making it up on the fly here so I’ll have to figure out fictional details later. Anything you’d like to see from the Mustang? AWD optional on the automatic 4 and 6 cylinder models maybe?

Literally 1 minute ago I made the same comment about replacing the V6 with the 2.7.

They really should! There is such a gap between the Ecoboost and the V8! The Focus RS has a better 2.3L. The Fusion has a way better 2.7L V6 than Ford’s 3.8L (I dont even know, I care so little). They are hyping the 3.5L with the Ford GT and Raptor, but that engine will go in a Lincoln before a Mustang? Come on guys...400hp V6 is great in a Mustang, just don’t replace the V8!

That was a pretty fascinating breakdown

I want a 7.2L V12 Super GT Mustang, over $100k and at least 575hp. Aston Martin and F12 fighter to go with the new GT. Make it a Lincoln if you must.

I've always dreamed of a v12, mustang-based Lincoln.
