The Ford Mustang has long been a symbol of power and muscle in the auto industry since its inception. In fact, when people think of American muscle cars, the Mustang probably ranks at the top of their list. Ford is continuing the tradition of making the Mustang one of their most popular vehicles, providing buyers with so many features they can’t wait to take it for a spin. Check out the following three reasons why you should test drive the new 2018 Mustang GT.
The Feel of Driving One
Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you sit behind the wheel of the new 2018 Mustang GT. It offers fast and smooth open throttle acceleration, but it also provides precision cornering, making it feel as though you have gotten behind the wheel of a race car. The Mustang GT is equipped with a fined-tuned suspension system which include new shock absorbers.
Additionally, Ford added the MagneRide Damping System to the 2018 Mustang to provide you with amazing handling performance no matter where you are, whether you are opening up on the freeway or twisting your way around canyon roads.
The Sound of Power Under the Hood
The Mustang packs a lot of intensity under the hood. You can feel the authority and hear the command when you start it up. Ford offers you two engines to choose from to customize the power to your liking. You can opt to go with the classic 5.0-liter V8 engine that has been revamped to output 460 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The engine was redesigned to include a low-pressure port fuel injection and dual-fuel, high-pressure direct injection.
Or, you can select the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, which kicks up to 350 pound-feet of torque. The transient overboost function can lift your output every time you change your gears.
The Convenience of Technology
The new 2018 Ford Mustang GT is one of the most technologically advanced Mustangs to date. The Mustang comes with My Mode on your 12-inch instrument cluster, which allows you to customize your drive, steering, and suspension preferences. The system then memorizes all three for the next time you drive.
Track Apps monitors your car’s performance and provides that data on your instrument cluster. It keeps track of g-forces, starts, and acceleration and lap times. The electronic line-lock essentially locks your front brakes while you warm up your rear tires, and the launch control system incorporates brakes, and powertrain and traction controls to provide effortless starts.
The new Mustang is also equipped with numerous advanced driver-assist technologies, such as Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert, and Lane Keep Assist to help you maintain safety. You can also add any of Ford’s optional technology services, such as the voice-activated SYNC 3 system and SiriusXM satellite radio.
