2018 Ford® Mustang Sports Car | Handling Features for a Responsive Drive | Ford.com

Welcome to the cornering office.

The straight and narrow is fun for that open-throttle acceleration, but there’s nothing like the thrill of powering through a corner with awe-inspiring control. And, of course, the new 2018 Mustang delivers. Through a combo of new shock absorbers, fine-tuned suspensions and innovative technology, it offers up the ultimate fun-to-drive experience with every model.

2018 Mustang MagneRide Damping System

MagneRide® Damping System

Performance runs in our family. So it’s no wonder we borrowed the MagneRide Damping System you’ll find in the Shelby GT350® , improved upon it and tuned it specifically for the 2018 Mustang. This system provides lightning-quick responsiveness to changing road conditions. How quick? We’re talking 1,000 times per second. That’s how fast each damper adjusts automatically, and it’s the reason you can count on optimum handling performance.

MagneRide is a trademarked technology of BWI Group.

    Selectable Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS)

    You can select from three power-assist settings to give you the type of steering control you want when you want it.

    Comfort: This setting involves the least amount of steering effort. Perfect for everyday driving.

    Sport: This setting requires increased steering effort, delivering a more immediate connection to the road.

    Normal: Finally, this setting gives you a balance between Comfort and Sport when you want to engage more, but still need some level of steering ease.
