Ford Mustang – the icon of American performance and style – gets even more street swagger with a new design and a list of smart features that signal even more technology in the popular pony car. "The new Mustang is the perfect example of continuing to build on excellence. It takes the greatness of the 5.0-liter and V6 and pushes the refinement to the next level," said Dave Pericak, Mustang chief engineer. "The car has been spot-on functionally and now we’re adding more features and technology to further improve the driver’s experience."

More aggressive design - The new model Mustang, which goes on sale in spring 2012, offers a more aggressive design with a significantly more prominent grille. A more powerful splitter adds to that appearance. Functional heat extractors on the hood of the GT were specifically placed and designed to help move hot air out of the engine compartment and cool the engine. Also new for Ford Mustang design are standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps on both V6 and GT cars. Signature lighting plays into the technology upgrades for 2013 as well, with two individual light-emitting diode (LED) bars accentuating the front headlamps and three LED ropes forming the iconic three-bar rear lights.

The new Ford Mustang offers a revamped wheel lineup, ranging from the standard 17-inch wheels for V6 all the way up to 19-inch optional wheels on the GT and V6 Performance Package. With updated designs, the wheels also offer new finishes and touches for a more powerful appearance. Read more: Ford Mustang GT 2013

Lowering the top of the 2005 Mustang GT doesn’t mean lowering performance–that’s good news for al fresco advocates. The extra six inches of wheelbase gives the car a road-ready look and a more classic dash-to-axle perspective in keeping with the Mustang’s 1960s roots. The added length and structure does pile on some pounds–nearly 200 of them–but the new three-valve iteration of Ford’s modular 4.6-liter SOHC V-8, with 40 more ponies than last year’s two-valve version, makes up for the added girth. These six inches are also put to good use in the Mustang’s cabin. Ergonomics are improved, and the firm front buckets are generously sized; legs can stretch out and knees needn’t be wedged against the dash, unlike in last year’s Mustang. In theory, the Mustang convertible is a four-passenger car, but gymnastics might be needed for climbing in back. There’s enough headroom for a six-footer, though tucking and folding the lower appendages into the tiny rear seat footwells requires negotiation with those riding up front. Trunk space, while better than the outgoing drop-top’s, is still skimpy compared with that of other four-seat convertibles like the Chrysler Sebring and Toyota Camry Solara. It’s skimpier still if the $1295 optional Shaker 1000 audio system is ordered, which comes with a computer-monitor-sized trunk-mounted subwoofer. Read more: Read more: Ford Mustang GT Convertible 2005
