The 2021 Ford Mustang GT and Mustang Mach-1 both feature the Ti-VCT V8 engine, but what exactly is that?
First off, the abbreviation stands for Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing. Developed by Ford, Ti-VCT allows for more optimum engine performance, reduced emissions, and increased fuel efficiency (compared to engines with fixed camshafts). This gasoline engine powers several Ford vehicles.
