This is part of a larger effort by Ford to explore different design strategies for light chassis development, including magnesium subframes, carbon fiber subframes, aluminum cross-members and lightweight coil springs. The design has passed all performance requirements based on computer-aided engineering (CAE) analyses.

To source the new lightweight track-capable carbon fiber wheels that are standard on the new Shelby GT350R Mustang, Ford partnered with Australia-based Carbon Revolution. The wheels are so light, the springs and MagneRide dampers had to be recalibrated because the suspension can respond considerably faster to road inputs.

A higher compression ratio can be used if an engine will operate primarily at light loads, such that degraded efficiency at high loads is more than offset by improved efficiency at light loads. The compression ratio selected for a particular engine depends, the authors note, on the expected duty cycle and fuel octane.

The piston has a shallow bowl designed to ensure stable combustion during engine cold-start operations. In developing the system, Ford engineers focused on fundamental physics, with an emphasis including injector spray pattern, piston geometry, intake port design, and innovation of operating strategies.
