Ford will soon be launching the new seventh-generation Mustang in South Africa.

Its low, horizontal brow across the front emphasizes overall frontal width, while the upper grille design shape is influenced by the original 1960s design. The Tri-Bar LED headlamps continue the Mustang’s classic lighting signature.

The Mustang has large, aggressive grille openings, engineered to allow increased airflow, reflecting the enhanced performance provided by the most powerful 5.0-litre Coyote V8 offered in a Mustang GT.

Behind the chiselled exterior silhouette of the seventh-generation Mustang lies the most technologically advanced, driver-centric cockpit of any Mustang to date. The fighter jet-inspired cockpit offers the driver two flowing and curved displays that can be quickly customised to show information the driver wants or needs to see.

The car’s 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster displays different animated designs and new Drive Mode-dependent visuals. Based on the same Unreal Engine 3D creation tool used in modern video games, when choosing personalised drive mode settings, the car’s current set-up is displayed on the centre stack as real-time graphical renderings.

The Mustang GT is powered by an advanced naturally aspirated 5.0-litre Coyote V8 engine. This fourth-generation engine delivers the most power of any Mustang GT to date that produces peak power of 328 kW and 540 Nm of torque connected to 10-speed automatic transmission.

In South Africa, the Mustang GT comes standard with the Performance Pack, which adds a host of track-focused features, including a front suspension tower brace, Torsen® limited slip differential, MagneRide active suspension, wider rear wheels and tyres, along with larger 390 mm front and 355 mm rear Brembo brakes.

Mustang GT Fastback 5.0L V8 10AT (R1 300 000).
