Mustang has always had a bold, powerful, American design that is aggressive and Mustang unique. Always different, yet always
Mustang. Mustang pays homage to its heritage with a look that speaks directly to the roots that have made it one of the world’s most
recognizable sports cars. The result is a fresh, contemporary appearance that is a completely modern interpretation of a classic design.
There is no mistaking this for anything but a muscle car of the 21st century, just as there is no mistaking it for anything but a Mustang.
Key Features
Front End
— the aggressive,
forward-leaning grille and
jeweled-round headlamps
in trapezoidal housings are
striking touches that give
Mustang a 21st century flair
Classic Long Hood
—
combines with the short rear
deck and front wheels that
are pushed forward to
enhance the rear-wheel-
drive look
Tri-bar Taillamps
—
highlight the rear end with
a circular Pony (V-6) or GT
(V-8) badge centered in the
decklid’s rear face for a
classic look
Large Tires and Wheels
—
scream performance and
power to immediately
draw attention
Overall Ground-hugging
Appearance
— emphasizes
agile, aggressive stance and
a low, sleek performance-
ready attitude
Interior
— offers four
distinct design themes,
with 4-gauge cluster
and a 3-spoke
steering wheel in
a classic design
Short-drop Side Glass
— the side windows in Mustang
have a short-drop glass feature that automatically drops
the window slightly when the door is opened and raises
it back up once the door is closed. This helps make
closing the door easier, due to not closing the door on
a pressurized cabin
Forward-leaning Grille
—
works with timeless exterior
cues to ensure that Mustang
is instantly recognizable
Body
— an all-American
design that is bold,
powerful, aggressive and
Mustang unique
A Classic Accent Line
—
runs the length of the
body and ends in a
“C-scoop” just beyond
the door cutline
Rear Quarter Glass
— it’s a
modern interpretation of the
classic Mustang tradition
of louvers or scoops; the
window actually aids the
driver’s rearward vision
