Performance
There are numerous available engine options for the Ford Mustang. The base engine is a turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four engine that uses regular gasoline to make 310 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. You may enjoy an additional 22 horsepower by going for the High-Performance Package. The automaker says this engine can use regular gasoline despite having a turbocharger. Being an American muscle, it is no surprise that the Ford Mustang is available with a 5.0-liter V8 engine option, producing 450 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque.
The Mustang Mach 1 comes with a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine generating 470 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. The engines mentioned above come mated to the standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional 10-speed automatic. It would be commendable to note that all new Mustangs come with a rear-wheel drive configuration. The convertible Mustang GT is not available with a V8 powertrain and manual transmission. The Shelby GT500 comes powered by a 5.2-liter V8 engine mated to a seven-speed automatic to produce 760 horsepower running on premium gasoline.
Safety
There is a need for adequate safety and driving assistance technology to tame this beast. These features give the driver confidence and make the Mustang an ideal daily driver. The available safety features of the Ford Mustang include the following:
- The Co-Pilot360 comes with forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, automatic high beams, and cross-traffic alerts. It also has a lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, and blind-spot monitoring.
- Adaptive cruise control
- The available Brembo high-performance brakes come with six-piston front calipers. These brakes are available on the GT Performance Package and the Handling Package on the Ecoboost and are standard on the Mustang Mach 1.
Interior
The Ford Mustang can seat four individuals, given its convertible and coupe styles. The cabin has a pleasant upscale feel, with quality materials used to build a practical interior. Trims such as the Mach 1 are available with a cue ball on the shift knob. Track enthusiasts can get Recaro seats for their Mustang. The Coupe comes with 13.5 cubic feet of cargo space, while the Coupe has 11.4 cubic feet. You may increase this storage by folding down the rear seats, which you may fold in a 60/40 configuration.

Other available options include heated and cooled front seats and a center-console bin.
