I think we can all agree, this is the best Christmas gift we can ask for!

Merry Christmas Mustang fans. I came across two leaked photos of the 2011 Mustang GT on Twitter today and thought some of you would like to see them. Gotta love the 5.0 badge front and center on the engine. For those living under a rock the 2011 Mustang GT is coming with an all-new 5.0-liter motor with 412 horsepower and 390 lb-ft 0f torque. More photos below.
The 5.0-liter motor will be an all-aluminum engine featuring iron cylinder sleeves, forged crankshaft, four-bolt main bearings, high-performance pistons and connecting rods. Another feature of the engine is vertical intake ports and twin independent variable valve timing. New tuned exhaust headers on the new engine will eliminate the need for aftermarket headers thus helping the engine to breathe better. The 5.0-liter motor will be mated to a 6R80 six-speed automatic or MT82 six-speed manual transmission. [ December 25, 2009, 03:20 PM: Message edited by: FriscoNotch ]

Now all they need to do is make it look like a 67-68 instead of a 65-66 Fastback.

Definately love the 5ltr badging, I like it alot. I can't wait to see the dyno numbers. Hopefully ford underrated it and it's more like 412 to the tires.

someone needs to get a hold of one of those motors and drop it in their hatch/notch. that would be a sick setup!
