Under the hood, buyers have the option of the powerful 5.0-litre V8 or the all-new 2.3 EcoBoost engine.
The 5.0-litre V8 delivers a hefty 306 kW of power, as well as a thunderous 530 Nm of torque! Making it the fastest-ever accelerating Ford to hit SA shores. Able to go from 0-100km/h in just 4.8s!
The 2.3 EcoBoost engine produces a power output of 230 kW and 430 Nm of torque and is able to go from 0-100km/h in 5.8s.
Both engines can be matched to a choice of either six-speed manual or automatic transmissions, as well as both Fastback and Convertible body styles.
Despite its dynamic potential, the 2.3 EcoBoost engine uses just 8.0 l/100km* in the combined cycle, linked to 179 g/km CO2 emissions*.
