The 2017 Ford Mustang V6 is set to come with a 3.7L engine pushing out 300 horsepower, capable of reaching a top speed of 150 MPH. While it may not be the speediest Mustang, it will definitely be quicker than the standard model. For those seeking the ultimate speed, the Shelby GT500 is the way to go, boasting a stunning 0 to 60 mph time of just 3.3 seconds.
Unfortunately, Ford equipped the V-6 Cyclone Mustang with a low-quality two-piece driveshaft, limiting the engine's full potential as it's prone to failure at around 130 mph. This decision was made to promote its Eco-boost 4-cylinder model, similar to why the V-6 S550 model didn't have the premium package option like its predecessors in the S197 years. This issue was especially notable in the 2017 V-6 Vert, which marked the end of the V-6 era.
The maximum speed of a 2017 Ford Mustang V6 reaches 165 miles per hour.
Are you positive that it's a V6? Because the V6 models of the 2015-2017 Mustang are limited to 124mph, unfortunately. You might be thinking of the 5.0 V8s, which can reach up to 165mph – that seems more accurate for V8s, not V6s.
I've heard that a v6 3.7 engine has been capable of reaching speeds up to 200 mph, but there are no videos or recordings to verify this claim. However, if you consider the 3.5 Ecoboost engine in the GT40, it shows that achieving such speeds is possible.
I've got a 2015 car that I've made some modifications to, like a cold air intake, headers, cat-back exhaust, and an aluminum driveshaft. With these upgrades, she can reach 155 mph, but I'm thinking of getting a tune to push her to 165 mph.
The maximum velocity for the V6 model is 165 miles per hour.
Certainly not 165 miles per hour for a naturally aspirated V6 engine.
