Vehicle Spotlight: 2017 Ford Mustang EcoBoost

A Leader in Modern Muscle

The Mustang is the epitome of honest American craftsmanship and thoughtful innovation. The release of the 2017 Ford Mustang Ecoboost doesn’t disappoint. Some purists claim that true performance can only be found in the V8-powered GT, and there’s certainly some merit to that statement. But it would be careless to dismiss the new turbocharged four-cylinder model. Ford affirms this ride remains unmistakably Mustang and with a 2.3L EcoBoost engine that delivers 310 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque in a body designed with the classic fastback style in mind, we can see why.

Other blogs implied the 2017 Ford Mustang EcoBoost is for a certain kind of consumer. But we think this ride is for anyone who wants the full package. Expect increased power, more torque and better fuel economy with a 2.3L compared to the base model V6. The EcoBoost balances daily driveability with exciting performance dynamics. So its lighter front end allows for more precise handling. Unique suspension tuning provides increased speed stability. And Ford’s improved Sync 3 infotainment system features impressive on-board technology.

EcoBoost

This engine hums with turbocharged power and pleases in the department of vehicle efficiency. Mustangs continue to remain fast, fun and affordable in a market plagued by ever-growing emissions regulations. A few simple aftermarket modifications can make all the difference to those who can never get enough speed, performance or styling. Consider K&N, Airaid, aFe Power, Corsa or BBK air intakes; MagnaFlow, Flowmaster or Borla exhaust systems; and Roush Performance grilles.

Ford proves the Mustang brand will continue to satisfy both new and dedicated fans for many years to come. Time to take a spin!
