2011 Ford Mustang GT
Extensive computer-aided engineering (CAE) modeling, development engine experimentation and evaluation in combination with The team also evaluated Ford Racing's 5.0-liter "Cammer" V-8 crate engine for transferable best practices. Their passion for engines, racing and delivering every last ounce of performance throughout the engine speed range really demonstrated that they put their heads and their hearts into this powertrain." Development test engines and benchmarks included 5.0-liter blocks, employing different bore and stroke measurements, GT500 four-valve-per-cylinder heads and cams, various intake manifold runner configurations, differing compression ratios and a deep-sump oil pan. "They all had a clear vision of the work required on their particular component or subsystem. "Nearly all of the team members have worked on other high-profile powertrain programs," said V-8 Engine Programs Manager Mike Harrison.
The team began 5.0-liter engine development with the objective of delivering 400-plus horsepower, on a timetable accelerated by 12 months without compromises in reliability, durability, fuel economy, or noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) control. By 2007, the Mustang competitive landscape was beginning to change, a sign that the time was right for advancing the Ford Mustang GT powertrain to world-class levels. The powertrain development community had long wanted to develop a new 5.0-liter powertrain, with strategic discussions beginning in 2000. For years they walked past the original 5.0-liter V-8 Coyote Indy racing engine on display in the lobby, continually inspired by its mix of heritage, high technology and horsepower.
Many of the engineers on the development team have worked in the Engine and Electrical Engineering Building on the Dearborn, Mich., product development center campus.
