Next Mustang To Get SVO Treatment Via UK RS?

An article from British rag AutoExpress may have inadvertently shed some light on the base powertrain for the next Ford Mustang.

While reporting on the next Focus RS, AE discussed the 2.3L Ecoboost that would be used in the hot hatch, reporting that it was destined for the 2015 Mustang. The 2.3L motor, based on the 2.0L Ecoboost used in the Fusion and Focus ST, would put out 330 horsepower.

AE tends to get things right on the "new car speculation" front, and if the new Mustang is going to be a global vehicle, than a small displacement 4-cylinder rather than a 3.7L V6, will be necessary to help avoid the hefty displacement taxes present in many world markets. And it will silence the incessant chatter about the Mustang V6 and its current status as the market's top performance bargain. That doesn't mean there isn't room for an Ecoboost V6 though…
