Curtain up for them seventh generation of the Ford Mustang! And we think it looks really good. But it is far removed from a design revolution – and with good reason. After all, the previous sales figures speak volumes. The flatter and wider ones are striking in the front LED headlights, there are bigger ones air intakes and the Hood is also shaped differently. Depending on the vehicle, this is then with or without a central air intake stocked. The more prominent ones fall at the rear fender up and there is a shorter overhang. For this is the diffuser modified and the typical Mustang taillights with the three vertical bars are also slightly refreshed. In our opinion you could also get a big one Facelift speak. Incidentally, the pony car is also available as a Convertible .
everything different in the cockpit
By the way, the cabin is clearly different. Something has really happened here. A huge one dominates in the cockpit curved display in combination with one 12,4-inch instrument display and a 13,2-inch Sync4 infotainment screen. In addition, the operation of the air conditioning has moved to the central display. details like wireless charging, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto or Over-the-air updates etc. are self-explanatory. There is also “overhead”USB ports above the dashboard for track cameras, GoPros and Co.
And there is one too B&O 7 sound system with twelve loudspeakers and subwoofer and the ford Electronic Sound Enhancement. And under the hood? So far, hardly any details have been left out of the bag. Just the information that a "new Gen IV 5.0 liter V8 engine" is installed, with better response and greater performance. Depending on the version, the V8 comes with a new Air intake system with dual air intake and a dual throttle body design equipped.
a four-cylinder will also come back
In terms of performance, the V8 in this country will probably go in the range of 480 to 500 hp. But that is only a guess! The engine is coupled to a 10-speed automatic or to a manual 6-speed manual transmission with standard Rev-Match function. And there will also be six driving modes (Normal, Sport, Slippery, Drag, Track, Individual Setting) be. However, there are still no details on the subject of four-cylinder EcoBoost, Mach1, Bullett etc.
And that also applies to the chassis. Although it is supposed to restore the adaptive MagneRide damper what exactly was changed, but that remains a secret at the moment. But at least we know that there is one faster steering ratio should give and that performance pack installed as standard in the GT. This includes 19-inch wheels, locking differential, a 19 inch Brembo braking system and an active one exhaust flaps.
Mustang Dark Horse for the track
And for those who like to romp around on track days or don't want to miss the weekly trip to the racetrack, the new one is for them Mustang Dark Horse probably just right. The new series shouldthe ultimate expression of track capability and the basis for the brand's motorsport endeavors" be. The vehicle is said to have an extremely track-focused design. Visually, this is shown with its own black radiator grill, changed front apron, others side skirts, new diffuser, darkened Exhaust tailpipes and a fixed one rear spoiler.
Technically, Ford installed a more powerful version of the new one eight cylinders camshafts and a "segment-exclusive" dual-throttle design. Coupled to this is a manual Tremec 6-speed gearbox with titanium shift knob (alternatively the 10-speed automatic), there is one engine oil cooler, Transmission oil cooler is also installed and also one Cooling for the rear axle.
Dark Horse S GT3 IMSA race car
Also included is an adapted one Suspension with other dampers and stabilizers, there is a Torsen limited-slip differential and 19-inch mixed tires with Pirelli P-Zero PZ4 slippers. Even an electronic one Drift handbrake is in. And the Mustang Dark Horse also brings Ford back to the big international motorsport stage. Because with the racing version Dark Horse S do you already have one? GT3 IMSA race car with a 5,0-liter V8 (also for customer sport) at the start as well as one GT4 variant.
