So let\u2019s pop the hood and check out the amazingly powerful and efficient new powertrain features found in the 2018 Ford Mustang.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>[ WATCH NOW: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.akinsford.com\/blog\/what-does-the-2018-ford-mustang-look-like-in-action\/\"><strong>What Does the 2018 Ford Mustang Look Like in Action?<\/strong><\/a><strong> ]<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>2018 Ford Mustang New Engine Options<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19197\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2017\/01\/30102058\/2018-Ford-Mustang-Red-driving-on-the-road_B1_o.jpg\" alt=\"2018 Ford Mustang Red driving on the road\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2017\/01\/30102058\/2018-Ford-Mustang-Red-driving-on-the-road_B1_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/678\/2017\/01\/30102058\/2018-Ford-Mustang-Red-driving-on-the-road_B1_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 2018 Ford Mustang comes with the choice between two different engines. The 3.7-liter V6 engine that came with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.akinsford.com\/clp-2017-ford-mustang-atlanta-ga\">2017 Mustang<\/a> has been replaced with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine. This new engine will offer outstanding performance and horsepower, while also offering more torque than ever before thanks to Ford\u2019s transient overboost technology which has been uniquely calibrated for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.akinsford.com\/new-ford-mustang-winder-ga\">new Mustang<\/a>. The legendary Ford 5.0-liter V8 engine has also been completely reworked for the 2018 Mustang. The reworked engine is more powerful and revs higher than ever before due to Ford\u2019s new dual-fuel high-pressure direct injection and low-pressure port fuel injection system. Both engines will also feature better fuel efficiency than a Ford Mustang has ever offered.<\/p>\n<h3>2018 Ford Mustang Transmission and Handling Features<\/h3>\n<p>The manual transmission for both of the aforementioned engines has been upgraded to provide optimal torque acceleration. The new 10-speed automatic transmission, complete with a twin-disc clutch and dual-mass flywheel, is also available for both engines. In terms of handling, you\u2019ll never have a smoother ride than in the 2018 Mustang. This is because of new shock absorbers, a new cross-axis joint in the rear suspension, innovative stabilizer bars and MagneRide damper technology.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for the ride of your life, the 2018 Ford Mustang is the car for you.
