  In brief: The 2011 Ford Mustang has official EPA ratings of 31mpg highway while delivery 305 horsepower, a first in automotive. Vehicle in the newsMake/Model: 2011 Mustang The word
Ford has received official Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ratings of 31mpg highway on its 2011 Mustang with the 305hp 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 with available six-speed automatic transmission and has received 30mpg highway on the same vehicle with a six-speed manual transmission. This marks a first in automotive history: a 305hp production car that is rated at 30 miles per gallon or better. The tow major improvements that created this hyper-efficiency are in the engine and car body improvements.
The engine is the new 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 with all-aluminum with dual overhead cams, twin independent variable camshaft timing, and an improved transmission with re-calibrated gear ratios. The power steering pump is electric, removing drag from the engine as well. Body improvements include a new front fascia for better aerodynamics, a better seal on the deck lid (trunk), tire spats, new underbody shields, and a taller air dam. And so ...Definitely an industry first and on one of the best-selling sports cars in America to boot. Photo credits: Ford Sponsored Links |
