Performance is at the core of the Ford Mustang, which offers drivers a unique thrill of acceleration and cornering for the ultimate fun-to-drive experience.

The 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine continues to offer outstanding performance advantages. Ford's legendary 5.0-liter V8 engine is powerful and revs higher than any Mustang GT before. The manual transmission for both engine options has optimal torque. For the V8, the manual transmission includes a twin-disc clutch and dual-mass flywheel to increase torque capability and efficient clutch modulation.

A 10-speed automatic transmission is the best automatic Mustang has ever offered. With a wide-ratio span and optimized gear spacing, this gearbox helps deliver higher average power for acceleration -- improving responsiveness and performance.
