2018 Ford Mustang GT Enhancements: Key Features Boost Performance and Comfort

The 2018 Ford Mustang GT delivers a nostalgic feel reminiscent of the iconic 1965 model, appealing to enthusiasts with its classic design and modern upgrades. It retains the powerful V-8 engine, rear-wheel drive, manual transmission, and two-door coupe layout.

Notable mechanical improvements include a slight increase in bore size, boosting engine displacement from 4,970 cc to 5,030 cc. Power output rose to 460 horsepower with torque reaching 420 lb-ft. The vehicle now features advanced suspension technology, including Magnetorheological shocks that adapt stiffness based on driving conditions, enhancing ride quality. Drivers can choose from normal, sport, or track modes for real-time adjustments, making the Mustang more versatile.

Ford also introduced a new active exhaust system featuring electronically controlled valves. This allows drivers to switch between quiet mode and aggressive roar, meeting daily commuting needs while maintaining an exhilarating sound on open roads. Furthermore, engine internal components such as the crankshaft, cylinder heads, and camshafts were refined to improve efficiency alongside increased power.

The 2018 Mustang GT also boasts a redesigned interior with a 12-inch digital LCD instrument cluster replacing traditional analog gauges. This high-tech dashboard provides real-time data and displays over a million lines of code, offering an enhanced driving experience and connectivity.
