The time has come and the 2018 Ford Mustang has finally been officially released. With the help of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Ford Motor Company, the 2018 Mustang was debuted with a very touching story from Marlene Rodriguez, a well-deserving U.S. combat veteran.
Although the exterior changes to the 2018 Mustang may seem subtle aside from the the front fascia, rest assured there are many new features and technological advances in the S550’s mid-cycle refresh. Some of which include, but are not limited to a higher horsepower and torquier dual-injected 5.0L Coyote Engine for the GT, more torque for the 2.3L EcoBoost engine thanks to an overboost feature, upgraded MT-82 transmission, available heated steering wheel, full digital LCD instrument cluster, available Active Valve Performance Exhaust, available 10-Speed Automatic Transmission and available MagneRide damping system from the GT350 and GT350R. And that’s not all! Read on to check out some more of the new features on the 2018 Mustang.
2018 Mustang Differences:
- Available 10-speed Automatic Transmission
- Redesigned front fenders, lower hood and grille, with new hood vents
- Standard LED Headlamps
- 5.0L V8 Gains Horsepower and Torque
- 2.3L EcoBoost Gains Torque
- Available Active Valve Performance Exhaust
- Redesigned Rear Fascia With Standard Quad-Tip Exhaust
- Available Heated Steering Wheel With Upgraded Leather
- 12 Available Wheel Options
- Redesigned Tri-Bar LED Taillamps and Over-The-Top Racing Stripes
On top of that, Ford mentions that direct-injection is a go for the Coyote in the all-new 2018 Mustang. Using this technology on the already powerful 435 horsepower 5.0L can lead one to deduce that the 2018 Mustang will definitely have more horses under the hood…
There are simply just too many small, but tasteful changes to name. At first, there were many that didn’t like when the 2015 Mustang debuted with such drastic changes from the S197 platform. However, we think in due time the all-new 2018 Mustang will grow on everyone, including us!
