1966 Ford Mustang May Be Old But Still Has It On The Autobahn

Driving an outdated, naturally aspirated and carbureted V8 is at all times enjoyable – we would favor that over an autonomous journey in a fully-electric shuttle any day of the week and twice on Sundays. And if we will try this on an unrestricted part of the Autobahn, it’s an absolute dream come true. 

We guess filming the video hooked up on the high of this web page was a blast for the TopSpeedGermany staff, and the results of their work is attractive. They’d a 1966 Ford Mustang to play with in entrance of the digicam and see what most velocity it may possibly hit. Underneath the hood is a 4.7-liter two-barrel V8, delivering 200 horsepower (149 kilowatts) and 282 pound-feet (382 Newton-meters) of pure naturally aspirated twist. 

You’ll in all probability agree that driving a classic muscle automobile on mountain roads might be not the most effective expertise you’ll be able to have behind the wheel of an old-school V8 beast. The Autobahn, nonetheless, gives countless stretches of unrestricted roads the place the Mustang feels at residence. And oh, what a pleasure that feels even by simply watching the video.

The ivory white Mustang from the clip right here has no hassle becoming a member of the busy Autobahn site visitors and rapidly hits first rate speeds of about 100 miles per hour (160 kilometers per hour). Only a few trendy vehicles are sooner than it on the freeway that day, and the very best quantity we noticed on the speedometer is round 130 mph (210 kph). Nonetheless, as you’ll be able to see, that’s absolutely not probably the most exact measuring gadget we will think about and the velocity can’t be confirmed.

One factor we miss whereas watching this video is footage from the gas gauge. Figuring out how thirsty these vehicles are, it might have been cool to see how rapidly the V8 engine drains the gasoline from the 16-gallon (60-liter) tank.
