The Ford Mustang is one of those cars that everyone understands is a speed demon, even people who don’t particularly like driving. There’s a reason it was featured in the Hollywood movie Ford Versus Ferrari and a reason why Christian Bale’s character rode the Shelby to victory across the finish line.
Like most Hollywood movies, the writers took some liberties in the film when blending fact and fiction, as is their prerogative. But the most important thing is true: The Ford Mustang is a performance monster that delivers an exhilarating drive.
Horsepower Aplenty
The Mustang is available in no less than 11 different trims, and every single one of them boasts serious horsepower. At the low end, the 2020 Mustang EcoBoost Fastback delivers 310 horsepower at 5,500 RPM, while the Shelby GT 500 is good for 760 horsepower at 7,300 RPM, making it the fastest street-legal car ever made by Ford.
There are options in between from different powertrains, so you can get the level of muscle you need. But there’s no way around it — if you buy a Mustang this spring, you’ll have astounding horsepower at your command.
Available Smart and Safe Package
You’ll want to stay safe when driving at top speeds, and Ford makes it easy. The available Ford Safe and Smart package includes multiple features to help keep everyone on the road safer:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane-Keeping Alert
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert
Your car will work for you to help read the road, keep drivers informed about the location of lane markings and other vehicles, and other things to make each trip safer and more joyful.
Performance Options
Some cars are designed to get you from point A to B, and others are meant to provide a thrilling driving experience. The Ford Mustang is for driving, and you can set it up in the way that suits you.
Choose a 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift for optimum ratio progression and performance. Enjoy steering wheel-mounted shift paddles, just like a race car.
The 2.3L High-Performance Package delivers what true gearheads want: an active valve performance exhaust, heavy-duty front springs, unique chassis tuning, and more. Add-ons like a hood accent stripe and 19” machine-faced aluminum wheels with low gloss ebony painted pockets make the Mustang look the speed demon it is.
The active valve performance exhaust lets you toggle between modes. On your way to the track, when you’re still in the neighbourhood, you can set it to Quiet Start. When you want that extra boost, select the Sport setting. And if you’re going racing, pick Track mode.
The Ford Mustang is an epic name in the car world, and recent improvements have only added to the legend. This spring, you don’t have to be Christian Bale in a Hollywood movie to get an exciting driving experience with advanced safety features and swagger galore. Just buy a Ford Mustang.
