FORD MUSTANG - 2017
2017 - FORD MUSTANG GT.
The Ford Mustang Is a recognised household name across the planet. The Mustang icon returned back to Australian shores in 2015 as part of the ford brands global line up. This particular example is the GT complete with a 5 litre v8 motor. Its just pure Detroit muscle complete with 435 horsepower as standard and unmistakably born in the USA. The aftermarket magnaflow exhaust gives the naturally aspirated Coyote engine a voice of its own providing snarl on hard acceleration and magnifies and accentuates the downward paddle shift blips. The retro styling is another area where this car builds charisma and pays homage to the 60's and 70's when the Ford Mustang was America's sweetheart. Everything in and on this car from its styling details and muscular proportions hark back the the Mustangs of yesteryear. Wild black leather seats and distinctively familiar dash leave you with no illusion that this is pure Mustang heritage. Twin white GT stripes paired with 20 inch white simmons rims, Dark dark window tint and a low squat stance scream go go go. Dynamically the Mustang delivers on its muscle car origins, it isn't a scalpel its an unapologetic hammer. Retro appeal and modern day luxuries all delivered through good old fashion grunt. Its that authenticity that delivers the memories of its early namesakes while putting a huge smile on your face and eating up miles and miles of comfort.
