The long awaited 2011 Ford Mustang GT and V6 have now been officially unveiled and we've got all the details. The 2011 Mustang V6 was unveiled to the public at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November of 2009. It featured an all new 3.7 liter V6 engine that produced an astounding 305 horsepower thanks to a twin independent variable camshaft timing system.(Ti-VCT) Other additions included two new 6 speed transmissions, dual exhaust, electronic power assist steering, and an optional performance package. Ford was very proud to announced that when mated with the automatic transmission the 2011 V6 Mustang boasts a 30mpg fuel economy rating, a 25 percent increase over the previous model year.
Although the Mustang enthusiasts expected the GT to be unveiled at the LA Auto show as well, Ford decided to hold it back for a grand unveiling at the Detroit North American International Auto Show in January 2010. I think most would agree that it was well worth the wait and the 2011 Mustang GT features the return of the 5.0L engine which produces 412 horsepower and 390 ft/lbs of torque. Just like it's V6 sibling the GT's V8 engine also takes advantage of the Ti-VCT system. It also features two new 6 speed transmissions, electronic power assist steering (EPAS), 7000rpm redline, three new paint colors, and optional 14" Brembo brake package.
