Why is the new Ford GT being powered by an ecoboost V6?

Why not a V8 to continue it's roots? I thought the exclusive 5.8 Trinity would be perfect for this.

Hi so even FORD have to admit it is time to go ECO what a shock that must be to all you petrol heads.

The V6 turbo will have more power, with less weight.

Hence more performance, AND better fuel economy.

Everyone wants a V8, but 90% of the buyers end up with a 6. That will be even more when when they notice the 6s are actually faster.

Yes it's sad, but that's the way automotive technology is going. My non-turbo 6 cyl Toyota is faster than most of the old "Muscle Cars".

The 5.8L trinity is being discontinued, turns out it's too big to fit in the new S550 chassis. I suspect the next Mustang GT 500 will have an Ecoboost variant of the Coyote 5.0L.

The new GT will have the next gen Ecoboost V6 because that's the engine Ford has been using in the Daytona prototype racecars for the past couple of years.

Ford wants to showcase their technology.
Wanna bet they will eventually develop an ecoboost V8, and fit it in an even more radical version?

  • Why ford ecoboost in everything? Why the hell is ford sticking ecoboosts into everything, i understand it ks a very good engine because it is fuel efficient and makes a decent amount of power, but really? Ecoboosts in a ford gt? What is your opinion in this engine
  • Why did Christine Blasey Ford have zero problem being interrogated by lawyers but William Barr refuse to allow it? Is it because she has nothing to hide and was telling the truth but Barr is a liar? There's evidence that Brat the Rat Kavanaugh lied about boofing and Devil's triangle but no evidence that Blasey Ford lied. Barr lied about not knowing why Mueller's staff expressed frustration about Barr's account of the Mueller Report when in fact he had received a letter from Mueller expressing dissatisfaction about Barr's account of Mueller's report.
  • 2015 Ford Mustang Fastback V6 or the 2015 Ford mustang 2.3L ecoboost? I'm trying to decide which of the two to get I heard online the eco boost is surprisingly a little faster then the V6 edition. it gets roughly 4 more MPG then the V6. the ecoboost will be about 1500 more then the V6 fast back lets assume its going to be my main vehicle. which one should I get and why? And which is superior? Your thoughts please. I'm not a gearhead so don't get too technical on me without using things I'll understand lol
  • Is Ford switching all their vehicles into ecoboost engines? Why is Ford heavily advertising their Ecoboost engines a lot? I know is suppose to boost up fuel economy and horsepower but they taking out V8 engines. Other Auto companies they refine their V8s and make them fuel efficient or at least increase mpg. Ford is like ditching V8 and put V6 twin turbo to solve their problem quickly to me. Anyone agree?
