Ford Mustang 2.3 Ecoboost: Muscle contraction

Singapore

YOU might know one when you see one, but the "muscle car" has a formal definition: a large car, usually American, fitted with a powerful V8 engine; reasonably affordable, attention-grabbing, and very fast in a straight line, but not adept at much else.

Normally, the Ford Mustang would conform to the textbook definition of a muscle car. Not this one though. You see, a big rumbly V8 can exist in America because "gas" is cheap. But in the rest of the world, "petrol" is expensive.
