The 2011 Ford Mustang GT may have been the most significant low key debut at the North American International Auto Show in the midst of electric, hybrid and fuel efficient debuts for political correctness rather that real historically high consumer appetite for muscle car horsepower.
The new Mustang GT has an all-new 412 horsepower 5.0-liter V-8 engine, delivering 390 ft.-lb. of torque and projected to achieve highway mileage of 25 mpg. The speedometer increases to 160 mph and the tachometer redline advances from 6,500 to 7,000 rpm. Three new colors will be added for 2011 including Yellow Blaze Tri-Coat, Race Red and Ingot Silver. The 2011 Ford Mustang GT is set to launch this spring.
