How do you like your ecoboost

You just have to decide how much speed and style is right for you — and your budget. Bromley Ln. Contact Us. Ask Us Anything. Phone Number. Dealer Information. Brighton Ford. Brighton, CO Phone: Combustion is the chemical reaction resulting from air, fuel, and pressure mixing together, which is how car engines produce power.

Instead of fuel and air mixing together in the intake port before reaching the combustion chamber, a fine mist of fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber, decreasing the amount of fuel wasted.

By rotating a turbine with energy that's typically lost through an engine's exhaust. The turbine works with a compressor to help the engine take in more air than a regular gas engine, which generates a boost in power output. For example, power output for the 2. In the past, only massive V6 engines were capable of that level of power. High-performing, small engines help reduce overall curb weight, which further improves fuel economy. If you value features over performance, the EcoBoost is definitely the better option.

Fuel economy may not be the number one concern for most sports car buyers but after a few trips to the pump with a V8 Mustang, you may be wishing you at least considered the EcoBoost. In our real-world testing of both engines, we easily averaged in the mids driving the EcoBoost but could barely squeeze out double digits driving the GT. This discrepancy may be due in part to our propensity to mash the accelerator in the GT but either way, the EcoBoost is far more efficient.

For the model year, Ford has added a new 2. It also gives a broader torque curve, delivering 90 percent of peak torque between 2, and 5, rpm.

On top of that, there's a larger turbo compressor, a larger radiator, engine and transmission recalibration, and active quad-tip exhaust system. Underneath, the handling has been improved with four-piston fixed calipers, an alloy strut tower brace, and a limited-slip differential. With all of these changes, the Hi-Po can hit 60 mph in just 4. The Package also includes various exterior upgrades to let people know you aren't just driving a normal EcoBoost Mustang.

The EcoBoost Mustang is not as powerful or fast in a straight line as the GT model but it does feel more nimble through corners. Opting for the four-cylinder results in around a pound weight savings under the hood and you can feel it when you toss the Mustang around a tight bend in the road. If you prefer the feeling of agility and finesse over brute power, the EcoBoost is a better choice. We are not going to argue that the EcoBoost Mustang sounds better or even as good as the V8. The Mustang GT is loud enough to wake the dead and the V8 rumble is nearly impossible to match.
