What engine is in the 2024 Mustang?
 Show Ford has launched the all-new seventh-generation Mustang (codenamed S650) to replace the previous-generation S550 model, which made its debut almost 10 years ago in 2013. The 2024 Ford Mustang is available with two updated engine options, a 5.0 litre naturally-aspirated Coyote V8 engine for the GT variant and an all-new 2.3 litre turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost engine. Transmission options for the car a six-speed manual with rev-matching and a 10-speed automatic gearbox. Six driving modes are available, including Normal, Sport, Slippery, Drag, Track and a customisable setting with up to six individual profiles. The V8 engine features a dual air intake box and dual throttle body design to minimise induction loss with higher air flow. For the first time, the Mustang allows its owners to rev the engine remotely using the key fob without even getting into the car, via a Remote Rev feature. An optional Performance Pack adds a front tower brace, an active exhaust system, Recaro seats, Torsen limited-slip differential, Delphi MagneRide active suspension, wider rear wheels and tyres along with larger Brembo rotors (390 mm front and 355 mm rear). The Performance Pack also offers a segment-first Performance Electronic Parking Brake to replace the mechanical handbrake when initiating drifts. The GT Performance Pack adds brake ducts for improved cooling and a standard auxiliary engine oil cooler. For a touch more agility and driving engagement, the Mustang now features quicker steering ratios with more connection between the steering wheel and tyres. Up front, signature Mustang cues have been retained such as the tri-bar LED headlamp design, although the graphics are now more prominently featured across the light fixture. The new Mustang also sports a new, larger front grille influenced by the original 1960s design.

It may not be obvious, but the Mustang’s roofline has also been redesigned for easier entry and exit of the vehicle, especially with a helmet on. At the rear are shorter overhangs and wide rear haunches to emphasise the athleticism of the muscle (sorry, pony) car. The new Mustang’s signature tri-bar tail lamps come with a slightly arched appearance and a redesigned diffuser for better aerodynamics. Animated welcome lighting greets occupants as they approach the vehicle. As for the convertible, the fully-lined and insulated fabric roof can be opened through a one-touch operation using a single-handle centre latch, and is tucked into a trunk big enough to accommodate two golf bags. Wheel sizes range from 17 to 20 inches, with 11 exterior colour options including new colours such as Vapor Blue and Yellow Splash. Brake calipers can be finished in either black, red or Grabber blue. Click to enlarge Aside from the optional Performance Pack, a Mustang Design Series package offers further factory customisations. The Bronze Design Series Appearance Package sees Sinister Bronze details and alloy wheels added to the Mustang. Climbing onboard the fighter jet-inspired interior, occupants are greeted by two 12.4-inch curved screens powered by the same Unreal Engine 3D software used in video games to offer different customised displays and animated designs. When customising the drive modes, the Mustang’s current setup is displayed in real-time renderings and in true video game fashion, the settings can be adjusted by swiping the graphic to rotate the car. For a less cluttered display, there’s even a ‘calm screen’ option with minimal details. The Mustang’s new copper appearance on the digital instrument cluster takes after the fully electric Mustang Mach-E, and can be optionally configured to flow seamlessly into the 13.2-inch SYNC 4 infotainment display tucked behind a single piece glass. Physical buttons for the radio and climate control have been removed and integrated into the digital display as a result from input gained from traditional Mustang drivers, Gen-Z and millennials. As standard, the Mustang comes with fabric seats with optional suede inserts and black seat belts, while the Premium models are distinguished by accent stitching on the door trims and dashboard. The EcoBoost models feature Ford’s ‘ActiveX’ synthetic leather upholstery, while the GT variants get leather seats. Full leather steering, upholstery perforation and colour coordinated seat belts are available in higher variants. Other onboard features include wireless charging and overhead USB ports, along with a Bang & Olufsen sound system and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity. Amazon Alexa Built-In with Ford Streaming is also available to access music and podcasts via voice command. Which one is your favourite Mustang? Comment below! Driver aids are covered by the Ford Co-Pilot360 system with speed sign recognition, lane centering assist, evasive steer assist, reverse brake assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop-go feature. Included in the Performance Pack is the active pothole mitigation function, which continuously monitors the suspension, body, steering and brakes while adjusting the suspension setup accordingly. With the FordPass app, users can remotely start and stop the vehicle, lock and locate it and schedule a start time. It also gives users access to the vehicle’s health and status checks. Assembled at the Flat Rock assembly plant in Michigan, USA, the all-new Mustang will go on sale in the US in the summer of 2023.
