2011 Ford Mustang GT

In 2011, Ford introduced an all new, redesigned Mustang. Unlike in earlier years, this redesign was completely different than any that had come before it. Earlier redesigns had been focused on either body design, or a new drive train. It was very rare to have them both redesigned in a single year. This year, Ford started with a clean slate and introduced a fully redesigned Mustang from the ground up. The new car has been a hit with many Mustang enthusiasts, bringing back many styling cues of the early mustang. The all new Mustang GT is proving itself as one of the greatest modern muscle cars today.

The biggest new feature that was introduced in the Mustang is the all new Coyote motor. Ford decided to bring back the mustang heritage by introducing an all-new 5.0 liter motor, or 302 cubic inches. Up until 1995, Ford had used a 302 motor in all of the GT's. This new motor was completely different though than earlier 5.0 liters, it was fully redesigned from the ground up and shares only the name with its predecessor. It's a fully aluminum, V-8 block, that was designed by Ford Racing, and is capable of producing 412 horse power stock. This is a vast improvement over the modular, 4.6 liter, V-8 that was found in the GT's just a year earlier. The 4.6 liter motors only produced 315 horse power, which is considerably less in comparison to the new Coyote. The new GT's are backed by a 6-speed standard transmission, with a 3.31 ratio, limited slip, rear differential. With these features, the all new, redesigned, 2011 Ford Mustangs are the beginning of a new era in modern muscle cars.
