福特周二公布了2018款野马细节,新车不仅外观获得改款,而且很多重要配置也有所改变。其中最大变化是在性能方面,2018款野马将不再搭载V6引擎,入门级车型搭载四缸EcoBoost涡轮增压引擎。升级后的野马GT将搭载更先进(动力更强)V8引擎。这台5.0升Coyote引擎采用双燃油喷射系统,这意味它将采用直喷和进气道喷油。福特并未公布其输出功率和油耗,只是表示:“它以前的任何野马GT动力都更强,转速更高”。2018款野马无论是四缸版还是V8版都将提供改款手动变速器,它采用双片离合器和双质量飞轮。原来的六速自动变速器也被十速变速器(与新款F-150一样)所替代。除了动力系统升级,底盘也将进一步强化,后悬也有所变化,同时还将提供磁行驶。车厢内将配备新的全数字仪表群,同时还将首次提供预碰撞辅助系统和行人探测系统。
2018 Ford Mustang loses V6, gets more powerful V8
Official details of the 2018 Ford Mustang were released Tuesday morning, lifting the curtain on an exterior facelift along with several significant feature changes for the next model year.
The biggest news is on the performance front. Starting in 2018, Ford will officially drop the V6 from the Mustang's powertrain offerings. Entry-level Mustangs will be powered by the turbocharged, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine.
Almost as significant was Ford's announcement that the updated Mustang GT will get a more advanced (and more potent) V8. The 5.0L "Coyote" engine will boast a "dual-fuel" injection system, meaning it will be both direct- and port-injected.
Ford has not nailed down the target horsepower or fuel economy figures yet, but promises that "[i]t is more powerful and revs higher than any Mustang GT before."
The Mustang (both four-cylinder and V8) will also receive a revised manual transmission featuring a twin-disc clutch and dual-mass flywheel. The old, six-speed automatic has also been tossed in favor of a 10-speed unit (the same found on the new F-150).
These drivetrain upgrades will also be backed up with some chassis enhancements. While there were some changes to the suspension in the rear, the most significant item on the list is the availability of MagneRide.
Inside, a new all-digital cluster is available. Pre-collision assist and pedestrian detection features are also available for the first time.
