The 2018 Ford Mustang Will Rev Its V8 Heart Out All The Way To 7500rpm

Way back in January, we showed you pictures of the updated Ford Mustang, which includes a sad face as standard. But don’t worry, you won’t be feeling blue when you hit the rev limiter at a delicious 7500rpm.

That’s right, a spy photo on Mustang6G.com has revealed that the 2018 ‘Stang will have a 500rpm increase over the current car, meaning it’s now only 750rpm short of the flat-plane crank, 5.2-litre V8 found in the Shelby GT350. The work done to the 5.0-litre ‘Coyote’ V8 might do something about 20bhp deficit against the current Chevrolet Camaro SS.

The Camaro will remain lighter of course, but the Mustang will come with new shock absorbers (with an adaptive system being optional), a new cross-axis joint at the back plus new stabiliser bars to help it in the handling department.

The 2018 Mustang will go on sale in America in a couple of months, with releases in other markets happening soon after.
