Putting a four cylinder in a Mustang is sacrilege. High performance electric would be cool.

The EcoBoost sales are what keep the 5.0 alive. You'd never justify the (honestly really great) chassis engineering with V8 sales alone.

[hef19898]

Sure, also V8s are basically obsolete tech by now. Even more so than ICEs in general. It just feels right to have one in certain cars. And yes, I know it doesn't make any sense. Electric, supplemented by bio fuels, is the way to go.

The four cylinder and chassis make it a more competent sports car than most of the Mustangs that came before it, V8 or otherwise.

[hef19898]

That for sure. I have a 40 year old V8, no muscle car, with an excessive 125 hp. Any modern 4 cylinder beats that in tes of torque, power and mpg. But some parts deserve certain engines.

The 2.3l Ecoboost now has about 350 hp. Modern cars have insane power.
