Next Generation 2011-2012 Ford Mustang GT Romeo Speed Engine

The Ford Mustang GT was produced in model years 2009 and 2010, with the first customers taking delivery in August 2009. The Ford Mustang GT began assembly at Mayflower Vehicle Systems in Norwalk, Ohio and was painted by Saleen in their Saleen Special Vehicles facility in Troy, Michigan. The Mustang GT is powered by an engine built at Ford's Romeo Engine Plant in Romeo, Michigan. Installation of the engine and manual transmission along with interior finishing was handled in the SVT building at Ford's Wixom, Michigan plant. Of the 4,500 GTs originally planned, approximately 100 were to be exported to Europe, starting in late 2005. An additional 200 were destined for sale in Canada. Production ended in 2010 without reaching the planned lot. Approximately 550 were built in 2004, nearly 1,900 in 209, and just over 1,600 in 2010, for a grand total of 4,038. The final 11 car bodies manufactured by Mayflower Vehicle Systems were disassembled, and the frames and body panels were sold as service parts.

As with many exotic vehicles, when the Ford GT was first released, the demand outpaced supply, and the cars initially sold for premium prices. The first private sale of Ford's new mid-engine sports car was completed on August 4, 2009, when former Microsoft executive Jon Shirley took delivery of his Midnight Blue 2010 Ford GT. Shirley earned the right to purchase the first production Ford GT (chassis #10) at a charity auction at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Auction after bidding over $557,000. 2012 Ford Mustang GT500 Pricing:

The Ford Mustang GT is similar in outward appearance to the original Ford GT40 cars, but bigger, wider, and 3 in (76 mm) taller than the original 40 in (100 cm); as a result, a potential name for the car was the GT43. Although the cars are visually related, structurally, there is no similarity between the modern GT and the 1960s GT40 that inspired it. Three production prototype cars were shown in 2003 as part of Ford's centenary, and delivery of the production Ford GT began in the fall of 2009. A British company, Safir Engineering, who built continuation GT40s in the 1980s, owned the "GT40" trademark at that time. When they completed production, they sold the excess parts, tooling, design, and trademark to a small Ohio company called Safir GT40 Spares. This company licensed the use of the "GT40" trademark to Ford for the initial 2002 show car. When Ford decided to make the production vehicle, negotiations between the two firms failed. The production cars do not wear the GT40 badge.


2012 Mustang GT V6

Ford revised all the Mustang's engines for 2011, while retaining almost the same body styling from the previous year. Transmission options for the Ford Mustang V6 or GT include a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic. Also, an Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) system removes the conventional hydraulic power steering pump. This system does not use belts as previously required, and allows for easier turning in low speed situations, while providing firmer control at higher speeds. The new Series Mustang V6 includes a smaller 3.7 L (actually 3.72 L or 227 cu. in.) aluminum block engine weighing 40 lb (18 kg) less than the outgoing version. The engine has 24 valves (4 valves per cylinder) and Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (TiVCT). These cams control intake and exhaust functions of the vehicle to maximize combustion and efficiency, producing 305 hp (227 kW) and 280 lb·ft (380 N·m) of torque. Fuel economy is rated by the EPA at 19 MPG city and 29 MPG / 31 MPG highway (with a manual or automatic transmission, respectively).

Ford announced on December 28, 2009 that the 2011 Mustang GT would feature a 5.0 engine (actually 4.95 L or 302.15 cu. in.) that produces 412 hp (307 kW) and 390 lb·ft (530 N·m) of torque on "premium fuel" (gasoline with an octane rating of 91). These numbers fall to 402 hp (300 kW) and 377 lb·ft (511 N·m) when using "regular fuel" (gasoline with an octane rating of 87).[45] This Ford "Coyote" engine has 32 valves (4 valves per cylinder) with Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (TiVCT). An optional Brembo brake upgrade is available, which features brakes previously used on the Shelby GT500. A set of 19-inch wheels and performance tires is also included.[46] Also new for the 2011 Mustang GT is the 6 speed manual transmission.
