Rumours have been going around that Ford may be developing an EcoBoost V8 Shelby Mustang.

This would be quite interesting to see, as the EcoBoost V6 in the Taurus SHO, with some tuning, could easily put out 600hp. So imagine the radical power an EcoBoost V8 could produce.

If EcoBoost doesn’t mean anything to you, put it this way: a twin-turbo, direct injected V8. The engine modified to use EcoBoost would be the 5.0L Coyote V8.

I’d be interested in seeing this, so long as they don’t just shove the engine into a Mustang and leave the suspension alone. I like my car to handle well, not just go quickly in a straight line.
