Crossing the Nullarbor ..... more Unmistakably Mustang The clean-sheet design of both Ford Mustang Fastback and Convertible evokes the essential character of the vehicle, retaining key design elements of the classic Mustangs recognisable to car fans everywhere, including the long sculpted bonnet and short rear deck, with a contemporary execution. Several key design features define the new Ford Mustang, including: A low roof height and wide stance Sleek profile enabled by steeply sloped windscreen and rear glass Three-dimensional, tri-bar tail-lamps Contemporary execution of the iconic car’s signature trapezoidal grille and shark-bite front fascia Ford Mustang convertible drivers will appreciate the standard multi-layer insulated cloth top. Large, clear instrumentation puts vehicle information right in front of the driver in the roomy cabin with an aviation-inspired cockpit, while ergonomic and tactile switches and knobs provide control. The vehicle’s width and new rear suspension contribute to improved shoulder and hip room for passengers and a usefully shaped boot space that can accommodate two golf bags. A Mustang for the true driving enthusiast The new Ford Mustang features all-new front and rear suspensions. At the front, a new perimeter sub-frame helps to stiffen the front structure while reducing mass, providing a strong foundation for more predictable wheel control that benefits handling, steering and ride. The new double ball-joint front MacPherson strut system also enables the use of large, powerful brakes. Both 2.3-litre and V8-powered models will feature performance brake packages behind standard 19-inch wheels. At the rear is an all-new integral-link independent rear suspension. The geometry, springs, dampers and bushings all have been specifically modified and tuned for this high-performance application. New aluminium rear knuckles help reduce unsprung mass for improved ride and handling.
