2011 Ford Mustang V6 Pace Car (720p)

Description

But unlike the legendary Daytona International Speedway, where the new 2011 Mustang GT 5.0-liter V-8, with 412 horsepower paced the field, this time the country's most famous short track -- .533-mile, high-banked Bristol Motor Speedway -- will see Ford's new 2011 Mustang 3.7-liter V-6 serve as the pace car for the March 21 Food City 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup event. Mustang will flex its most fuel-efficient muscles to date with its best-in-class 31 mpg and 305 horsepower V-6 engine under the hood as the Official Pace Car of the race weekend. The 2011 Mustang 3.7-liter V-6 is certainly the most fuel efficient Ford Mustang to ever pace a NASCAR event. "This is a Mustang that delivers the power and fuel efficiency customers want," said Fritz Wilke, Mustang Brand Manager. "To get 305 horsepower and 31 miles per gallon has never been done before in a production vehicle, in fact this new Mustang could do the entire 500 mile race on one tank of gas." New 3.7-liter V-6 Engine For 2011, Mustang's new 305-horsepower 3.7-liter 24-valve V-6 uses advanced technology to deliver its power and economy. Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) adjusts the valve train in microseconds, while aluminum construction means less weight.
