A host of improvements including new technology and design
changes give owners ways to customize Mustang to their preferences,
even better performance from more powerful engines and new
MagneRide™ suspension technology. Customers have more ways than
ever to personalize Mustang to make it their own, with three new
paint colors, 12 distinct wheel choices and a customizable digital
instrument cluster.
“The new Mustang is our best ever, based on more than 50 years
as one of the iconic sports car in America and now, the world,”
said Joe Hinrichs, president of The Americas. “Tapping Mustang’s
enormous fan base, we’re bringing the new Mustang straight to the
people – and introducing the new car across multiple social media
channels, reaching millions.”
Ford tapped Johnson to reveal the new Mustang to the world by
giving one of the first models available to a deserving member of
the military. A video of the debut was launched on Johnson’s social
channels, including YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, where Mustang
holds the title for the most popular car with more than 8.4 million
‘likes.’
Technology for greater personalization
Mustang makes available Ford’s first 12-inch all-digital LCD
screen in the dashboard. This all-new customizable instrument
cluster can be easily personalized, offering three separate views.
Customers can personalize the displays for normal, sport and track
mode. All-new Mustang MyMode with memory function allows customers
to save their favorite drive settings, including suspension and
steering preferences.
The new Mustang is so customizable that even its engine note can
be adjusted. Delivering an audible experience like never before, an
all-new active valve exhaust system is optional on Mustang GT, with
a fully variable soundtrack to match the entire acceleration
range.
For the first time, Mustang benefits from a vast array of Ford
driver-assist technology. Customers can feel more confident than
ever behind the wheel with new features like Pre-Collision Assist
with pedestrian detection, distance alert, lane-departure warning,
lane-keeping assist and Driver Alert System.
Ford SYNC® Connect with FordPass™ is available on Mustang for
the first time. When using the FordPass® app for smartphones,
drivers can start, lock, unlock and locate their car for ultimate
convenience.
Ultimate performance
Performance is at the core of Mustang DNA, offering drivers a
unique thrill of acceleration and cornering for the ultimate
fun-to-drive experience. On all models, new shock absorbers make
for better ride control, a new cross-axis joint in the rear
suspension leads to increased lateral stiffness, and innovative
stabilizer bars bring sharper response and handling.
MagneRide damper technology is a new option with the Mustang
Performance Package to optimize ride and handling in all
situations.
The proven 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine continues to
offer outstanding performance advantages versus the outgoing
3.7-liter V6. Using Ford’s transient overboost technology uniquely
calibrated for Mustang, torque is increased for wide-open throttle
acceleration.
Ford’s legendary 5.0-liter V8 engine has been thoroughly
reworked. It is more powerful and revs higher than any Mustang GT
before. This power increase was achieved with the first application
for Mustang of Ford’s new dual-fuel, high-pressure direct injection
and low-pressure port fuel injection on a V8 engine – delivering
robust low-end torque, high-rpm power, and improved fuel
efficiency.
The manual transmission for both engine options has been
upgraded for optimal torque. For the V8, the manual transmission
has been totally redesigned to include a twin-disc clutch and
dual-mass flywheel to increase torque capability and deliver more
efficient clutch modulation.
A new 10-speed automatic transmission, available with both
EcoBoost and V8 engines, is the best automatic Mustang has ever
offered. With a wide-ratio span and optimized gear spacing, this
all-new gearbox helps deliver higher average power for acceleration
– improving responsiveness and performance.
Compared to the previous six-speed, the new 10-speed
transmission has quicker shift times, better low-speed tip-in
response and significantly reduced friction losses. The all-new
electronic control system includes unique tunes for different drive
modes and features real-time adaptive shift scheduling to ensure
the right gear at the right time. Steering wheel-mounted shift
paddles allow drivers maximum manual control.
Energy in the design
Overall, the car’s exterior design is now more athletic, with a
lower, remodeled hood and grille that deliver a leaner look and
refined aerodynamics, upper and lower front grilles, and a new
position for hood vents. For the first time the entire Mustang line
will feature all-LED front lights including signature lighting,
low-beams, turn signals, efficient projector high-beams and
available fog lamps.
The rear of the car gets revised LED taillamps for a more
technical look, plus a new bumper, fascia and available performance
spoiler. Dual-tip exhaust is standard for EcoBoost® Mustang, while
V8-powered Mustang GT gets a standard quad-tip exhaust.
With a dozen available alloy wheel designs and fresh exterior
color choices – including all-new signature Orange Fury –
enthusiasts can order a Mustang with the look they’re after.
Improved touch points and visual cues with a more premium look
and feel characterize the new cockpit. The center console adds a
new hand-stitched wrap with contrast stitching and padded knee
bolsters while door handles, rings and bezels are finished in
aluminum. Restyled seating surfaces feature new patterns and color
choices, the instrument panel sports an updated Mustang badge and
there’s a new key fob design. A heated steering wheel is
optional.
Ford’s most advanced Mustang ever goes on sale in North America
this fall.
