Smaller turbocharged engines are replacing six- and-eight-cylinder engines in just about every automotive segment as a way to improve fuel economy and performance. The 2015 Ford Mustang is no exception and now includes a new 310-horsepower, turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder.

The EcoBoost is the more sport-oriented engine compared with the V-6, generating 10 more hp and 40 more pounds-feet of torque.
