2024 FORD MUSTANG GT – MASSIVE SEDAN FOR SMOOTH DRIVING, IN CLEAR VIEWS; INTERIOR- EXTERIOR…

Recently Ford launched the seventh chapter of its cherished Mustang sports car with reworked-but-familiar styling, revised chassis hardware, an all-new interior, and two improved powertrains. While the new pony is saddled-up for the future with acknowledgeable array of upgrades, the long-term fate of its closest competitors, the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger, isn’t as rosy. The new-gen car will continue to be powered by a 5.0-liter V-8 and an updated turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, though Ford hasn’t specified how many horses are present in either powertrain—only that there will be more of them than before. Both a six-speed manual and a 10-speed automatic will be available depending upon engine choice. The Mustang will continue to be offered in both hardtop coupe and soft top convertible body styles. The Mustang’s rethought cockpit includes an available 13.2-inch display that’s part of a large curved screen that extends over the center stack area. The system also replaces traditional knobs for climate and radio control with touchscreen buttons. Sales of the new pony car should begin sometime during summer, 2023.
The Mustang will enter its seventh generation with sales beginning in summer 2023. The new design brings the Mustang some desperately needed updates. Amid its many style and powertrain changes is a fresh roster of offerings for those with a true need for speed. Both Mustang GT and EcoBoost models will offer an optional Performance Pack equipment upgrade. The Performance Pack adds a front strut-tower brace, Torsen limited-slip differential, wider wheels and tires, larger Brembo brakes, and a MagneRide active-dampening suspension. An all-new Mustang Dark Horse track-ready model has also been added to the ranks, toting a more sinister 500-hp Coyote V-8 engine and a direct line to the Ford Performance parts bin with leaner and meaner equipment upgrades. The Mustang continues to offer a turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost at the base level and a V-8 in the GT model. We estimate the former will start around $30,000 and the latter at $40,000. But the specifics of each trim may not be ascertained until the 2024 Mustang gets closer to its summer, 2023 sale date. The last Mustang earned an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city and 32 mpg highway with the turbo four-cylinder and 10-speed automatic. For the last-gen V-8, the added horsepower sacrificed efficiency for an estimated 15 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.
From the driver's seat of the 2024 Mustang, every detail has been chiseled in place with what Ford is calling a “fighter-jet inspired,” design. Ford has also introduced a Remote Rev function that allows the car’s engine to blast up the RPMs with a simple click from the key fob while you admire the sounds from outside the car. A major area of improvement for the new Mustang is its interior gadgetry. An available 13.2-inch infotainment screen using Ford’s Sync 4 software flows from the gauge cluster toward the center of the car behind a curved glass panel. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard on this system, and an optional wireless smartphone charger helps drivers reduce the clutter of charging cables. Amazon Alexa and Ford Streaming allow voice commands to replace knob-turning or button presses, and every Mustang comes with Ford Power-Up software capability which allows for over-the-air updates for later software and vehicle function improvements.
