Ford Mustang Gt

The Ford Mustang GT is a high-performance variant of the Ford Mustang, a classic American sports car that has been in production since 1964. The GT designation typically represents a higher-performance model with upgraded features, especially in terms of engine power and handling capabilities. Keep in mind that my knowledge is up to September 2021, so there might have been updates or changes since then.

As soon as I got a call from Ford, giving me an invitation to drive the Mustang on routes I had never imagined of, I jumped off my office seat with excitement. We had several options like Vijaywada to Vishakhapatnam or Bhubaneshwar to Kolkata or Kolkata to Bodhgaya etc etc. But one sector really caught my attention and as I wanted to make my first drive on road in the legendary Mustang to be an unforgettable experience, I chose Varanasi to Lucknow. Now you might think I must be nuts to choose this sector to drive a low slung sports car but my whole logic behind the decision was different. Make no mistake, I would have enjoyed this pony car to the fullest, on a wide placid road but I would have never got the memories which are now imprinted in my brain of driving among craziest people, on some of the most demanding roads in a muscle car.

Engine and Performance

The Mustang GT is known for its powerful engines that deliver impressive performance. Historically, it has been equipped with V8 engines, known for their robust power and distinct sound. The specific engine options may vary between different model years, but one of the most notable engines used in the Mustang GT is the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine.

Put those beautiful dual exhausts with quad tips to work with the brand-new active valve performance exhaust. This is a fully variable exhaust system, which means you can control the volume of your Mustang’s rumble.

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 New 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.

Transmission

The Mustang GT has typically offered both manual and automatic transmission options. Enthusiasts often appreciate the manual transmission for its engaging driving experience, while the automatic transmission might offer features like paddle shifters and multiple driving modes.

The C4 automatic was one of the first transmissions to be offered upon the Mustang’s release in 1964/1965. At the time, the C4 was often referred to as the Dual-Range Cruise-O-Matic. The C4 served as the eventual replacement of Ford’s primitive Ford-O-Matic Transmission. In general, the C4 was a longitudinal three-speed transmission, featuring a Simpson planetary gear set.

Ford’s C4 automatic transmission underwent a number of design changes throughout the years. This most notably included the change from a 24-spline to 26-spline input shaft, thereby significantly increasing durability. Eventually, the C4 was phased out in favor of a new C5 Automatic, which was essentially little more than a C4 transmission with a locking torque converter.

Exterior Design

Chris Walter didn’t start his career designing Ford Mustang, but it should be no surprise that he eventually became exterior design manager on the all-new, seventh-generation Mustang. His father owned at least 10 of the cars, dating back to its early years.

“I grew up with Mustang,” Walter said. “He would buy these cars, restore them, enjoy them and then move on to another one. I’ve grown up with them my entire life and learned how to drive in them. I definitely grew up in a car family, and my dad loved his Mustangs.” 

“Driving it means freedom and the open road,” Walter said. “When I see my Mustang, it speaks to that rebellious nature inside. I feel a certain way when I get in it – you start it up and you hear that rumble of the exhaust and the throaty growl of the engine. It’s super responsive and it also looks badass.”

While his father instilled his appreciation for the Mustang brand, Walter’s path to working on the pony car wasn’t as apparent. Like many designers, Walter found himself drawing cars as a child. But his career path didn’t take him directly to Ford – or any automaker. After graduating from Columbus College of Art of Design in Ohio, Walter worked in product design before interviewing with Ford.
