Newest Mustang looks back to the 1960's for inspiration.

Overview Information

The Ford Mustang is instantly recognizable as an American icon. This latest iteration emulates the classic styling of the Mustangs from the late 1960's. Engine choices include a 4.0L V-6 or 4.6L V-8, combined with a 5-speed manual or automatic. All Mustangs share a solid rear axle just like their classic predecessors. The Mustang GT offers a unique combination of power, style, and value that is unmatched in its segment. ABS and traction control are standard on the GT. Options include 18-inch alloy wheels, and Shaker 500 audio system. Bridging gap to the ultimate factory performance Mustang, the Shelby GT500 is the Shelby GT package. The Shelby GT package adds Ford Racing performance and handling packages.

What Changed:

The Mustang continues to offer unique limited editions. One such example is the Warriors in Pink edition. Sales support Susan G. Komen for the Cure. A limited edition Mustang Bullitt model coincides with the 40th anniversary of the movie. Bullitt editions feature a tuned suspension and more horsepower compliments of Ford's Racing Technology catalog. Only 7700 Bullitt Mustangs will be built.
