2011 Mustang GT Coupe
The New 2011 Mustang – presented by Mustang Australia
New aluminium engines scream higher, more intense performance for the GT and Shelby GT500. The most powerful production models ever. All now armed with six speeds. Unsurpassed efficiency. In a choice of coupe, convertible or glass panorama roof. This is the year of your Mustang.
LEGENDARY THUNDER RETURNS.
The wait is over. Mustang GT pounds pavement with an advanced, all new take on the 5.0L V8. Mod 5.0 graphics debuted on the hood scoop of a 1978 Mustang II King Cobra. The actual 5.0 badge of honour made its first appearance the following model year. Creating a loyal legion of fans in the process. 1995 Models – cresting at 240 hp, were last to flaunt the hi-po 5.0. Until now. Output reverberates with an astounding 412 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque. This baby kicks and screams like the day it was born. Only way stronger.
The all new, all powerful 5.0L V8 aluminium cylinder block with optimised bay to bay breathing. Aluminium, hi-flow four valve per cylinder heads lend volumetric efficiency. Torque actuated Ti-VCT (twin independent variable camshaft timing) adjusts valvetrain intake in microseconds. Dual overhead cam compact Roller Finger followers configured for aggressive cam-lift rates. Unique tubular exhaust headers maximise pulse separation. Forged steel crankshaft is fully counterweighted. Nodular iron, cross bolted main bearing caps contain upsized bolts. Deep sump stamped steel oil pan sustains a high range rpm.
GT @ 412 hp + 390 Torque
Mustang GT tops any enthusiast’s wish list. The all new 5.0L V8 raises desire tenfold. Especially its pulse popping 82 hp per litre force. Redline pushed to 7,000 rpm. Speedo bumped to 160 mph. Compression ratio formulated to 11:1. Transmission optimised to six speeds. With the benefit of an unsurpassed 26 mpg highway. New handling dynamics include electronic power assisted steering for optimal all speed performance. Retuned struts and shocks for improved ride and balance. Larger diameter stabilizer bars and brakes for tight cornering. GT – for ultimate kicks.
The new Mustang GT and GT Premium. Unique front end cheats the wind to help create a low drag coefficient and reduced aerodynamic lift. Wide spoke 18 inch wheels. Bright rolled 3.5 in. tips on H-pipe dual exhaust. Signature, throaty V8 rumble is specially piped into cabin. New rear lower control arms. New skip shift for manual transmission. Fog lamps housed in grille, on either side of exclusive to GT dark chrome Pony. All new Brembo brake package with unique 19 inch wheels and electronic stability control tuning.
New 5.0L V8 Engine
The legend is back. An available 5.0-liter V8 engine returns to the Mustang lineup in 2011, and it boasts Ford’s Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing. The legendary Mustang 5.0 engine returns in 2011. And it’s better than ever, delivering 412 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft of torque. It features Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (TiVCT), a cast-aluminum engine block and cold air induction to help pump out more power. But that’s only for starters. The cylinder head design is optimized to increase airflow. The spark plugs are optimized to deliver more fire, resulting in a more powerful and efficient combustion, thanks to the High-Energy Coil-on-Plug Design. And to handle all the heat this engine generates, the cooling jets are designed to keep the engine running at higher temperatures and improve longevity. And then there’s the H-pipe exhaust delivering a throaty lyrical roar. Purely Mustang
Interior: Within AWE-inspiring
Interior allure rivals that of the jaw dropping exterior. Craftmanship is nothing less than phenomenal. Premium materials abound. From the seamless, soft touch instrument panel to the available genuine aluminium accents. Driver variable ambient lighting radiates hi tech prowess, as does MyColor – with literally 125 combinations of hues, allowing you to customize the full complement of gauges. Mustang at its finest.
Employing twin independent variable camshaft timing (TiVCT) and cold air induction, the new 2011 Mustang engines deliver more power, greater off-the-line low-end torque – and increased fuel efficiency.* The V6, featuring a die-cast aluminum engine block, boasts 305 horsepower and 31 MPG on the highway, while the 5.0L V8, featuring an aluminum block, pumps out a smoking 412 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque. And all engines are mated to six-speed transmissions. There’s no such thing as compromise for these ponies.
New 6-Speed Transmissions
Two new six-speed transmissions provide smooth shifting performance. Mustang now features a standard six-speed manual transmission and an available six-speed automatic transmission – both delivering a smooth-shifting performance. On top of that, they provide more responsive low-end acceleration and greater fuel economy in the high overdrive gear.*
AdvanceTrac® with ESC
Sport mode allows you to push it more while still retaining control. AdvanceTrac® Electronic Stability Control (ESC), standard on Mustang, gives you more confidence and control behind the wheel under slippery road conditions. AdvanceTrac uses sensors to detect and measure yaw, or side-to-side skidding conditions, by monitoring the vehicle’s speed, throttle position and steering wheel angle. When AdvanceTrac senses wheel slippage, it reduces engine torque and applies the brakes as needed. In the 2011 Mustang GT Premium, AdvanceTrac® ESC can be placed in ‘on,’ ‘off’ or Sport mode position – allowing you to push it more while still retaining control. This feature provides unique calibration for a spirited driving experience
Cold Air Induction
Cold air induction helps provide increased horsepower and torque. Designed by Ford Racing Technology and now standard in all Mustang models, cold air induction delivers a cold, dense intake charge to the cylinders, which helps achieve increased horsepower. The intake, mounted in an air box that’s unique to Mustang, is extensively sealed to ensure that cold air from the vehicle’s front end is continuously fed to the engine
Performance Package
Race-worthy and ready for the track: the 2011 Shelby GT500 with the SVT Performance Package. The available SVT Performance Package turns a mean machine into a downright monster. The package features a 3.73 limited-slip rear axle,19-inch painted forged-aluminum front wheels, 20-inch painted forged-aluminum rear wheels (with P265/40R19(F) P285/35R20(R) Tires), high performance front and rear springs, specialized rear shocks, an eye-catching rear spoiler and distinctive Gurney flap, a custom gear shift knob and unique exterior stripes.
