2011 Ford Mustang Coyote EngineThe big news from Ford is the coming release of the 2011 Ford Mustang coyote engine. This new and very powerful motor will be a 5.0 liter V8 (302 cubic inches) and the only similarity to the old 5.0 liter engine will be its displacement. 5.0 Liter Coyote Engine SpecsPower to weight ratio is an important factor and the coyote engine does its share to keep overall weight down to approximately 430 lbs. Power output for the new 5.0 liter engine is, for 2011 slated to hit the streets at 412 horsepower, with 390 lbs of torque at a fairly low 4,250 rpm and the twin cam motor will freely rev all the way to 7,000 rpm.
With an output of just over 80 horsepower/liter, this is an impressive feat for a naturally aspirated motor. By comparison, the Corvette 505 horsepower Z06 at 7 liters would have to produce 560 horsepower,to equal the output per liter of the Coyote engine. No doubt, the twin cam helps it pass Ford's rigid NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) tests and Ford's work at producing light weight, but strong intake and valvetrain components seems to indicate there may be more in store for this engine in years to come. Since the engine was designed to hold up to increased pressure of a supercharger, it seems to follow that the rumors of the Ecoboost engine coming to a coyote mustang engine near you may be more than just a rumor. (the Ecoboost is Ford's new use of direct fuel injection and turbocharging to produce a powerful, low emission engine that also produces better fuel economy). Time will tell, but it sure looks like the 2011 coyote mustang will be the real Wyle E. Coyote. ** NEW ** Mustang 5.0 Fever SweepstakesWant to win a brand new customized 2011 GT with its awesome 412 horsepower 2011 Ford Mustang coyote engine? Don't miss this!
