Around the globe, Ford’s performance-tuned cars are known to provide an uncompromised driving experience in a remarkably civilized package. Growing from that tradition, the new 2011 Ford Mustang V6 will offer an optional factory-installed Performance Package that combines high-tech horsepower and a taut suspension in a package that will appeal to track-day fans and sports car aficionados alike.
Powered by a 305-horsepower all-aluminum Ti-VCT V6, the Performance Package takes advantage of the new engine’s lightweight and high-revving nature to deliver a nimble performance car equally at home on a road course or a road trip.
“The new Performance Package delivers on fast, fun and affordable, combining the all-new 2011 V6 with Ford Mustang GT prowess,” said Dave Pericak, Mustang chief engineer. “It’s a true sports car for the new generation and a smart choice for the environmentally-conscious enthusiast. It is a perfect marriage of power, performance and value.” You can expect to get about 30 mpg…
2011 Mustang Performance Package upgrades include:
- A 3.31 rear axle ratio for quicker off-the-line acceleration
- Ford Mustang GT coupe front and rear stabilizer bars
- Ford Mustang GT front struts and rear shocks/springs
- Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 rear lower control arm
- Unique 19-inch wheels and Pirelli performance tires
- Ford Mustang GT front and rear brake calipers with Performance pads
- A strut tower brace for increased body rigidity
- Unique electronic stability control calibration with Sport mode
- Unique badging
The 2011 Ford Mustang V6 Performance Package will be available beginning late summer 2010, built at the Auto Alliance International Plant in Flat Rock, Mich. The new 3.7-liter V6 will be built at Ford’s retooled Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1. Ahh, the Cleveland!
Anyway, this video is a montage showing some of the car’s features. Enjoy!
