2024 Ford Mustang GT

Ford of Europe has announced it will sell the next-generation Mustang in Europe with the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter engine and a manual gearbox.

Much like in the US, the pony car will look different depending on the number of cylinders underneath the hood. Typically, the previous 'Stang sold in Europe had slightly less power due to stricter legislation, and we won't be too surprised if it'll be the same story with the new one. Not the same V8 as before though as the GT will boast a dual air intake and dual throttle body design. Thankfully, the Blue Oval will bring over the naturally aspirated V8, which we might as well label as a dinosaur in the best way possible. It benefits from beefy Brembo front brakes with 13.9-inch rotors and six-piston calipers, a strut tower brace from Ford Performance, Torsen rear limited-slip differential, bigger sway bars, and heavy-duty front shocks. Fueled by higher taxes on large-displacement engines, the sports car market continues its decline in Europe.

This is one of the most head-turning Mustang designs we have ever seen, and the best thing is we get multiple engine and transmission options. There is every chance that this is the last of the pure internal combustion engine Mustangs. And this new 2024 Mustang certainly looks the part. Ford have also brought us a new race-inspired flat-bottomed steering wheel, to allow for that little more space as we get seated. Ford have made every effort to differentiate the EcoBoost and GT models. Wireless phone charging is now within the Mustang’s interior and there is a B&O sound system available too, for those who want the best audio quality possible within their Mustang. Ford don’t hide the fact that this is a heritage-inspired design, with the upper grille design shape influenced heavily by the original 1960s Mustang. Beyond that, the Mustang has an incredible sleek roofline, and a shortened rear overhang compared to the previous generation Mustang. Less power of course, but easier for a lot of people to handle. Ford says this will deliver the most naturally aspirated power of any Ford Mustang GT, partly thanks to the new dual air intake box and dual-throttle body design.

The all-new 2024 Ford Mustang just broke cover at NAIAS and it's full of upgrades, fun quirks, plus a new and impressive digital cockpit display.

However, if you don’t mind the wait (summer 2023), the 2024 Mustang GT should make for a superior purchase compared to its predecessor, given not just all the previously stated tech advancements, but also its fourth-generation 5.0-liter Coyote V8 unit, as it has more horsepower than before. It was a safe direction to take, and we probably shouldn’t be too upset about it. Is the That’s about it, really, but it all comes together nicely enough. At first, it seemed underwhelming, but the more I stared at images like an absolute mad man, the more I liked what I saw. What does impress me however is the interior of the

In addition to the road-going version of the Dark Horse, Ford will also offer two track-only versions of that particular variant – the Dark Horse S and the Dark Horse R, both of which are powered by the Coyote V8. However, the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse isn’t just the most powerful naturally-aspirated [Ford 5.0L V8 Coyote](https://fordauthority.com/fmc/ford-motor-company-engines/ford-modular-family/ford-5-0l-coyote-engine/) powered pony car to date – it’s also the start of a new motorsports push, too. However, one thing that caught most by surprise was the fact that a brand new variant [was also unveiled](https://fordauthority.com/2022/09/ford-mustang-dark-horse-trots-out-as-high-performance-pony-car/) – the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, a model that offers a slew of performance upgrades compared to the regular GT.

Consumer Reports previews the all-new 2024 Ford Mustang coupe and convertible. Could this be the last of the V8 muscle cars?

This not only smooths the ride but may also save the tires and wheels from expensive damage. The 5.0-liter Coyote V8 continues, with modifications that increase output from 460 horsepower to more than 480 horsepower—enough to make this the most powerful Mustang GT ever. The modes are Normal, Sport, Slippery, Drag, Track, and a customizable one. It uses a heavier-duty, six-speed manual transmission developed from the latest Mustang GT 350, a track-focused version inspired by Carroll Shelby. The exterior borrows from the current muscle cars, with a Mustang angular grille and sloped roofline. The dash itself is more of a flat shelf than before. The base powerplant is again a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Ultimately, this Mustang is destined to be a future collectible, one of the last old-school muscle cars. Even the steering wheel now has a flat bottom. An available large glass panel spans from the 12.4-inch digital instrument panel across to the adjacent 13.2-inch infotainment screen. This new car builds on that, and frankly, it starts from a much stronger position than the current generation. The strong base turbo-four powertrain along with thrilling GT V8 muscle suit the car well.

The automatic is the Ford's familiar 10-speed, introduced with the face-lifted Mustang of 2018, with new control electronics. "It's important to keep the EcoBoost in the base car to keep things affordable and attainable," Krenz says. Both the manuals are carryovers, with the Getrag unit offered in GT models, while the Dark Horse gets upgraded to the Tremec first introduced on the Shelby GT350 and offered on the Mach 1. Like the V-8, the EcoBoost benefits from a new dual-fuel system with both port and direct injection and the compression ratio is up to 10.6:1 from 9.5:1. Both variations on the new 5.0 get a new steel oil pan designed to reduce windage losses, and a new left-side exhaust manifold to increase flow. Still, there's a lot to talk about with what's going on under the hood of the new S650 Mustang.
