Why the Ford Mustang GT3 uses a 5.4-liter V-8.
there are some instances where a little more power is necessary. Plus, increasing displacement means its easier to hit a 500-plus figure while putting less strain on engine components, especially important in endurance racing. Plus, one assumes a bump in displacement also means a bump in torque. Porsche takes a similar strategy for its 992-generation GT3 R race car, which uses an enlarged 4.2-liter flat-six while 911 road cars use engines no larger than 4.0 liters.
Unlike the Mustang road car, the Mustang GT3 uses a rear transaxle gearbox, which Rushbrook said is primarily to help even out weight distribution. This might also allow Ford to move the V-8 further back in the chassis than in the street car, though we won't know that for certain until we get to see under the hood., it appears that the driver sits further back in the cabin for weight distribution's sake too.
Rushbrook said that Ford hopes to have eight cars running next year, though that depends on when homologation is complete. Multimatic will run two cars in IMSA's GTD Pro category next year, while Proton Competition signed on to campaign the Mustang GT3 in the FIA World Endurance Championship, including Le Mans. Rushbrook says there should be cars in SRO and Pirelli World Challenge racing too. Beyond that, the Mustang GT3, as with all other GT3 cars, is available to customers.
