New Ford Mustang GT350 Being Unveiled on September 19

It has emerged that the upcoming 2016 Ford Mustang GT350 is set to use a 5.2-litre V8 engine with a flat-plane crankshaft.

The information comes thanks to Mustang6G who discovered that in a Ford listing for replacement brake master cylinders and interior quarter panels, a Mustang variant with a 5.2-litre V8 is noted. This is interesting because the 2015 Mustang GT is currently only available with a 2.3-litre EcoBoost, a 3.7-litre V6 and a 5.0-litre V8. The new 5.2-litre is reportedly codenamed Voodoo.

Visually, 2016 Mustang GT350 prototypes have been spotted with revised and more aggressive front bumpers and splitters, new wheels as well as Recaro sports seats. Also, there have been large quad-exhaust pipes, a new rear diffuser and carbon ceramic brakes present.

The current Mustang GT delivers 435 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque from its 5.0-litre V8. However, when the Mustang GT350 hits the market, we expect it to produce significantly more while also weighing less.

  1. Well, I hate to break it to you guys, but the 2015 VooDoo will not have a flat plane crank. My dad works in the prototype shop in Allen Park where engine parts are developed and tested, and they made the first cranks for the VooDoo. Unfortunately, it was a regular bi-plane crank

  2. Well I guess rich boy u think u know it all but im here to tell u that every voodoo 5.2 has a flatplane crank do u even know the difference probably not and they’re rpm range is 100,200rpms with the proper tune and fuel delivery go check the real specs
