Found by*[ Ford Authority]()*, this window sticker shows that its 5.0-liter naturally aspirated "Coyote" V8 makes the same 450 horsepower as its predecessor. Fo[rd]() was quiet on the power details of the [2024 Mustang GT ]()when it was first announced, so there are no official horsepower or torque figures just yet. It released the power figures for the special edition Mustang [Dark Horse](), which makes 500 horsepower according to the automaker. But for the GT, Ford only said that it would make more power than the outgoing 2023 Mustang GT and that the new car would be the most powerful naturally aspirated Mustang GT in history. However, if this window sticker is accurate, Ford may have some explaining to do. We reached out to a Ford spokesman who said the horsepower figure listed on the window sticker was "premature," but didn't say it was incorrect. Final power figures for the coupe aren't yet certified, he said, so it's unclear where these came from. ![]() Something's bit fishy about the window sticker claiming 450 horsepower when Ford hasn't released any power figures yet. It also seems odd for the 2024 Mustang GT to make the same power as the outgoing 2023 model, considering its engine upgrades. The new 2024 Mustang GT's V8 has new dual throttle bodies, dual air intakes, and an upgraded exhaust manifold, which are meant to make the engine breathe better. Those upgrades alone should be good for 10 or 20 extra ponies. And while that might not sound like much, more power is more power, and it would have fulfilled Ford's promise. This window sticker raises more questions than answers—and Ford doesn't want to answer any just yet. *Got a tip?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
