Available are three powerplants. The 2.5L, 168 hp 4-cylinder of the previous model returns, but reworked to provide 5% better fuel economy. There are two EcoBoost engines: a 1.6L with 173 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque that will offer the greatest fuel economy, and a 2.0L EcoBoost with 237 hp and 250 lb-ft that, with tow-packaged equipped Escapes, boasts a rating of up to 3,500 lbs.
It debuts with a trick new liftgate that automatically raises when a foot is waved beneath the bumper. According to Ford, over 4 million plastic bottles were rerouted from the landfill by being recycled as interior carpet and upholstery.
No one can accuse Ford of letting their iconic Mustang grow stale. Across the lineup are more aggressive front ends with a redesigned grille. The Boss 302 also sports a new hockey stick graphics package with reflective stripes and new School Bus Yellow paint in homage of Parnelli Jones's 1970 Trans-Am car.
As if the Shelby GT500 didn't already have enough stinking gobs of power, it returns with a head-shakingly ridiculous 650 hp and a top speed of over 320 km/h. Looking frail but sounding hearty, the legendary Carroll Shelby declared the newest Shelby his "favourite Mustang" – which now boasts the most powerful production V8 in the world.
