Ford is developing its high level 5.0L V8 Coyote, apparently in secret, but speculation is already out. Replacing its 4.6L V8, this one will be more powerful with a 400 hp aluminum engine, with 400 lb/ft of torque. This car will be up against Dodge Challenger and the Chevrolet Camaro. It should give equal or better fuel economy than its current model.
This new engine is being test driven under the hood of a Mustang. While everything is more or less ready, Ford is still planning to keep it under wraps until next year because it does not want to cut into the sales of its 2010 Mustang and 2009 F150 models. It will likely go on sale by mid next year.
