lb-ft of torque.
wheel, which means quicker torque delivery, similar to
a twin-turbocharger setup. (Note: this is a twin-scroll
turbocharger, not a pair of turbochargers.) In addition
to the performance beneft (this is, after all, an engine
for a Mustang), there is a gain in fuel efciency, too
(this is, after all, the Age of Fuel Economy): because the
exhaust valves are separated, they can stay open longer,
which means reduced pumping losses, which can improve
specifc fuel consumption by approximately 1%.
Other features of the 2.3-liter
four are a forged-steel crankshaft,
piston-cooling jets, steel piston
ring carriers, premium bearing and
valve seat materials, forged-steel
connecting rods, high-pressure diecast aluminum cylinder block, and
a deep-sump die-cast aluminum
oil pan.
Yes, there is also a 5.0-liter V8 for
the 2015 Mustang that will produce
more than 420 hp and 390 lb-ft of
torque. This is, after all, a Mustang.

The ProJet 5500X 3D printer by
3D Systems (3Dsystems.com)
simultaneously prints and fuses
together fexible and rigid material
composites, allowing users to produce
quick-turn prototypes of overmolded
parts, rubber components, hinges, and
high-temperature parts in a variety
of colors and shades. An industrialgrade printer head prints up to two
times faster than any other printer
in its class, produces large parts up
to 0.5-m long, or multiple parts per
print job.
