Check out Some of the Coolest Things About the Ford Mustang

After some 60 years, there’s no denying that the Ford Mustang is an absolute icon within the auto industry and among one of the most important vehicles to come out of the 20th century. If you go looking for a Ford Mustang for sale these days, you’ll find a highly influential and sophisticated machine that provides incredible features and options to those who crave speed and exhilaration.

Whether you’re here just for the high performance and driving experience it offers, you’re interested in some of the latest features and models, or you want to know what the future holds for this model, you’ve come to the right place. Today, we’re going to look at some of the most remarkable features of the 2024 Ford Mustang so you can see why so many people have been clamoring for this celebrated sports car.

Incredible Power and Engineering

It’d be a mistake not to kick things off with the heart and soul of the Ford Mustang: its engineering. With just one look, it’s easy to see how much work Ford has done to develop a fantastic vehicle that offers a thrilling driving experience, one you’ll love for every second you’re behind the wheel. The Mustang offers one of three different engines, dependent on your choice of trim, between EcoBoost, GT, and Dark Horse, with your choice of transmission for the latter two, giving you several options to customize your ride.

For starters, on the EcoBoost trims, we have the standard 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine, which clocks in at an impressive 315 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, which comes paired with a standard 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission with paddle shifters. As the lowest engine available for the Mustang, this is a terrific place to start. If you’re looking for spectacular power, bumping up to the GT nets you a 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 engine that roars to life with up to 486 hp and 418 lb-ft of torque. You can get this beast with the 10-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission with Rev Matching, giving you ultimate control over your vehicle every second that you’re driving.

As we said, performance isn’t only about the engine; you get a double-ball-joint MacPherson strut front suspension on the 2024 Mustang, keeping you comfortable and in control even on rough roads. When combined with the available MagneRide Damping system, you end up with an incredibly comfortable level of ride quality. And if you’re looking to hit the track in your Mustang, then you’ll appreciate the standard electronic line lock that locks the front brakes while releasing the rear brakes, letting you accelerate to spin and warm your tires, improving their grip.

A Dark Horse in the Running

We love every Ford Mustang, so trying to choose a favorite is pretty much impossible for us; that being said, there’s a solid argument to be made for the all-new Dark Horse model of this year’s Mustang. The Dark Horse offers a new level of power and performance with gorgeous styling and incredible features inside and out. For starters, you have a specially tuned Gen-4 5.0L Coyote V8 engine that provides 500 hp and 418 lb-ft of torque, ensuring you have an unbelievable time when you’re behind the wheel. Ford has given this beast massive, track-ready Brembo brakes on its 19-inch wheels, keeping you in control even with all that power.

Inside, the Dark Horse is a work of art that beautifully blends functionality and style. There’s a massive 13.2-inch Centerstack touchscreen paired with a 12.4-inch Digital Cluster with Information on Demand Message Center. A leather-wrapped, flat-bottomed steering wheel looks and feels amazing when you’re on the road, plus you get customizable ambient lighting with MyColor. A 12-speaker B&O sound system surrounds you with stunning audio, while available RECARO micro/suede sport seats ensure you and your front passenger are incredibly comfortable. Unique Dark Horse badging inside and out completes the look of this model and reminds you that you’ve got something special parked in your garage.

Revolutionary New Interior Options

We already touched on this a bit when looking at the Dark Horse, but that’s not the only Mustang model with an incredible interior. Even looking at the standard EcoBoost Fastback model, you get the gorgeous 13.2-inch Centerstack touchscreen and the 12.4-inch Digital Cluster. More than simple displays, you can customize the features of these screens to help you stay connected to people, find where you’re going, and use different apps that are available.

The beautiful color quality and enhanced graphics displayed on these screens not only look amazing but create a personalized cockpit that surrounds you with everything you need. Numerous interior themes are available for the upholstery, letting you choose from six unique options to get a cabin that meets your needs and fits your style. While Black Onyx makes a bold and intense impression, Emberglo warms things up with rich and comfortable materials, and Carmine Red gives you an absolute showstopper of an interior.

Iconic Design That Lives Up to Its Legacy

From the outside, the Ford Mustang is every bit as gorgeous as it is inside, with iconic looks that are both modern and immediately recognizable for what it is. You have a gorgeous silhouette that exudes power and intensity, plus a front end that’s both bold and elegant, creating a flowing shape that pulls your gaze from front to back without ever letting go.

You have numerous exterior colors to choose from, like Race Red and Oxford White, plus new options this year, such as Vapor Blue Metallic and Yellow Splash Metallic. The Blue Ember Metallic exterior color is exclusive to the Dark Horse Appearance package, providing you with a bold, deep blue color that shifts and changes as you watch it move. For a final touch of flair, the available exterior stripes for the hood, sides, and over the top of the Mustang take its aesthetic power and confidence to another level, turning heads wherever you go.

Next Year’s 60th Anniversary Package

So far, we’ve focused on the 2024 Mustang you can find right now and everything it offers. That seems only fair since we didn’t want to tease you with unique features you can’t even enjoy yet. Unfortunately, we’re going to do just that because we’re too excited about the limited-edition Mustang 60th Anniversary Package that’s coming next year, celebrating the 2025 model and its legendary run in the auto industry.

Available in three colors, including classic Wimbledon White, this package features 20-inch wheels painted Dark Gravity Gray with bright machined details to really make them pop, plus Vermilion Red center caps for an immediate touch of retro style. This model has unique fender and rear badges, plus side stripes in Iconic Silver Metallic or Vermilion Red. Best of all, the modular grille features a Gloss Black mesh and frame with Iconic Silver Metallic for the pony and nostril finish to really make the front end pop. It’s a beautiful way to celebrate this fantastic vehicle, and we can’t wait to see it hit the road.

Get to Know This Automotive Legend

As you can see, 2024 is an amazing year for the Ford Mustang, and it shows no signs of slowing down or stopping any time soon. It’s a rare honor for a car to be so beloved and celebrated that it remains in production for 60 years. We couldn’t be prouder that the Mustang is one of the few vehicles to achieve such a milestone, but of course, all it takes is one good look at the Mustang to understand why that is. The Mustang remains the quintessential American pony car designed and built for people who simply love to drive. We would expect nothing less from Ford, which is why we can’t wait to show you the Mustang at Jim Ellis Ford and everything it has to offer.
