According to reports, at Detroit Auto Show we will see the debuts of the 2018 F-150 and 2018 Mustang and with them, a brand
new 4.8-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine from the automaker.
Ford claims to have received word from an
unnamed source that Ford’s 4.8-liter V8 will act as the replacement to the
current 5.0-liter Coyote V8 currently used by the Mustang GT and certain Ford
F-150 variants.
It is thought that beyond its reduction in
displacement, the key difference between the 4.8-liter and the 5.0-liter will
be the new engine’s adoption of dual injection. By implementing both direct and
port fuel injection, the 4.8-liter will be more efficient and when working in
conjunction with variable valve timing, may have a higher compression ratio.
That means the new engine won’t only be
more fuel efficient than the Coyote but that it will also have more power. With
the Detroit show less than a few weeks away, we don’t have long to wait to hear
more so stay tuned.
