The landscape of American muscle cars underwent a seismic shift recently as General Motors ceased production of the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro with no successor in sight, and Stellantis retired both the L-bodied Dodge Charger sedan and Challenger coupe simultaneously.
Yet, amid this transition, the reign of the seventh-generation 2024 Ford Mustang, equipped with the 5.0-liter Coyote V8, promises to be brief. Notably, the latest iteration introduces dual throttle bodies, alongside other enhancements like 4-into-1 exhaust manifolds and performance upgrades for models like the Dark Horse.
Looking ahead to the 2025 model year, Ford Performance introduces the first-ever Coyote Gen 4 Aluminator crate engine. This naturally aspirated V8, available in two versions, represents a significant milestone for enthusiasts seeking high-performance options.
With compression ratios tailored for different applications, the Aluminator crate engine offers impressive power outputs, maintaining parity with the latest Mustang GT models. The inclusion of forged components ensures durability and performance, further enhancing the appeal for enthusiasts and builders alike.
Ford’s commitment to offering aftermarket solutions underscores its dedication to performance enthusiasts, providing access to cutting-edge technology and powertrain options for custom builds and upgrades.
