New Mustang GT Goes 0-60MPH in 4 Seconds

PEKIN, Ill.,–– Don't blink or you'll miss it. The 2018 Mustang GT is all about speed and can achieve 60mph speeds faster than you can read this sentence. Don't believe us? Watch the new Mustang GT go 0-60MPH in 4 seconds below to get a firsthand glimpse. Not only is the new Mustang GT able to achieve this speed faster than the current leader, the Porsche 911, it has also become the fastest Mustang GT to ever be created. Learn more about the new 2018 Mustang GT by downloading its brochure today!

The new Mustang GT achieved this improved speed through its 5.0-liter V8 engine, which features high-pressure direct fuel injection and low-pressure port fuel injection technology, allowing for improved control and power. Drag Strip Mode, the Mustang GT's newest driving feature, improves and maximizes the 2018 GT's speed and power when driven in a straight line. With over 310 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, the 2018 Mustang GT packs a punch on the road. Its 10-speed engine, compared to previous models' 6-speed engine, allows for smoother transitions when drivers speed up and slow down, providing relief to the engine to improve its' efficiency.

"The new Mustang is also faster than a $94,000 Porsche 911 Carrera, which Carl Widmann, Mustang chief engineer, attributes to four factors:

• Improved horsepower and torque output of the redesigned 5.0-liter V8
• Maximum acceleration of available Drag Strip mode
• Quicker, smoother shifting of the available 10-speed SelectShift® transmission
• Optimized traction courtesy of the available custom-designed Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires on new Performance Pack

“Typically, when you shift gears, you give up time,” said Widmann. “In Drag Strip mode, the engine torque doesn’t drop when you’re shifting. You get peak engine torque and horsepower straight through thanks to our new Ford-built 10-speed transmission.”"

Available in a variety of colors, the 2018 Mustang GT will be hitting the marketplace this fall. However, you can still customize your GT with multiple trim levels, special packages, and colors online. Interested in ordering a 2018 Mustang GT in advance?

So what do you do when you have something historically great on your hands? If you're Ford, you take that thing and make it better!

The new Mustang was designed to look more athletic and refined. The entire line of 2018 Mustangs will include all-LED lights for the first time, and a dual tip exhaust comes standard with the EcoBoost model, while the GT gets a standard quad tip. Customize your wheel design by choosing from 12 different styles and colors and you can also choose from a new line of interior design palettes to match your taste.

Technology

A 12-inch digital screen in the dashboard and Mustang MyMode with memory are few features buyers can look forward to. MyMode allows drivers to save their favorite drive preferences and store them in the vehicle's hard drive. Ford SYNC Connect with FordPass will be available for the first time in a Mustang, allowing drivers to start, lock, unlock, and locate their car remotely. Also for the first time, the 2018 Ford Mustang will come with Ford driver-assist technology features, like Pre-Collision Assist and lane-departure warning.

Performance

New shock absorbers on all models provide better ride control, and stabilizer bars offer better response and handling for drivers. A new performance package called MagneRide damper technology will be available to enhance handling and the GT model 5.0-liter V8 engine has been redesigned. It revs higher than any of it's predecessors and the manual transmission system has been updated to provide better torque.
