2018 Ford Mustang EcoBoost gets Line-Lock because you could use a burnout

Burnouts to the people!

Ford says the electronic line-lock feature is now unlocked on all Mustangs as standard, including the 2.3-liter EcoBoost version. The Mustang GT V8 already came with the feature.

With it comes an animation that actually shows a wheel spinning in a cloud of smoke on the Mustang's new 12-inch digital instrument cluster.

Moreover, the Line-Lock comes both with the automatic ten-speed gearbox and the six-speed manual. Line-Lock was comes from drag racing where it is widely used to warm up the tires before the start for optimum grip levels.

“We introduced line-lock on EcoBoost Mustangs because we didn’t want those customers to miss out. The number of people choosing EcoBoost power continues to grow globally, and with the increased torque and new features coming on the new Mustang, customers will not be disappointed.”
