2020 Mustang

Performance

It’s always a joy ride.

At the root of it all, Mustang is about performance. With a powerful engine in every Mustang, you’ll have the ability to kick it up a notch. And when it’s not the right time for exhilaration, there’s the exhaust note with Quiet Start mode to keep your neighbors happy in the morning, or you can choose the Track setting and let everyone know what you’re about.*

All-new and all-powerful.

This will be the most powerful street-legal production Ford we’ve ever built as well as the quickest accelerating Mustang model in our storied lineup. Pairing a new 5.2L supercharged V8 with a TREMEC® 7-speed transmission, the first ever dual-clutch transmission in a Mustang, the GT500 delivers tire-smoking, pin-you-to-your-seat performance. Other standard features include a MagneRide® Damping System, the largest brake rotors ever on a production Mustang and an active valve performance exhaust that delivers the soundtrack you expect from a 5.2L V8.
