The 2024 Ford GT may be coming quite late in the auto industry, but it’s always better to be late than never doing anything at all. By the end of 2022, Ford had announced that they are going to release a new muscle ride with manual gearbox and V8 unit. This would be the seventh gen of Mustang lineup as the GT would be included in the EcoBoost base model.
The Updated Plan
The new GT comes with evolutionary style and also comprehensive digital cockpit, which has been redesigned completely. It is also customizable with various individual options and different packages. The company wants to combine the old and the new with new technologies and old school powertrain. Many believe that it would be a perfect improvement for such a legendary and iconic nameplate.
Powertrain and Performance
This 2024 Ford GT Mustang Coupe would be running on the V8 unit with 5.0 liter capacity, paired up with rear wheel driving system and manual 6 speed transmission. This unit (and its arrangement) would be able to generate 480 hp. There is no information about the EPA ratings. But if you want to have clearer ideas, take a look at 2022 model. The GT auto has 15 mpg for the city, 24 mpg for the highway, and 19 mpg combined. The numbers decrease with manual, with 15 mpg for the city, 24 mpg for the highway, and 18 mpg combined.
There is an optional auto 10 speed transmission for those who want to enjoy auto arrangement. There would be different driving modes, covering Track, Drag, Slippery, Sport, and Normal along with other customized setting. The Slipper mode would be the safest option, especially in wet conditions. It is able to generate 500 hp with rear wheel driving system. The current GT is able to reach 60 mph within 4.3 seconds (in auto) and 5.3 seconds (in manual).
Exterior Design and Appearance
The new Mustang GT comes with more aggressive details and sharper edges. The design may not be revolutionary, but it doesn’t mean that it would be lame. Because Ford wants to bring back the old design of the Mustang by creating the unique upper grille shape. The GT coupe would be coming with 11 different colors, including Yellow Splash and Blue Vapor. Overall, the roofline design has been optimized, with shorter rear overhang and wider (rear) haunch.
Q and A
