Ford have prepared an upgrade kit for the new Mustang and, together with that, disclosed some details on the new-generation engines and car handling.
The new Ford Mustang will go on sale in the United States this autumn and only next year it will arrive in Europe. Finally, we have a few details about its trim level.
Performance Pack upgrade kit will be available only for the models fitted with a 2.3-litre 310-hp EcoBoost engine and a 5.0-litre V8 delivering 435 hp. It comes with revised springs, bushings and monotube rear dampers. It features a more efficient cooling system, a thicker rear sway bar, and a K-brace, which joins in to connect the strut towers to the bulkhead. The ABS, stability control, and electric power-assisted steering systems have been reprogrammed. All these innovations will definitely improve the car’s handling.
The model fitted with an EcoBoost engine was equipped with four-piston brakes with 352-millimeter rotors at the front and single-piston 352-millimeter rotors at the rear. The car now features 19-inch Ebony Black painted alloy wheels with Pirelli 255/40 Y-speed-rated tyres.
What concerns the sports package for the car fitted with a V8 engine, it will get six-piston Brembo brakes with 380-millimeter rotors, rear-axle Torsen differential and a rear strut tower brace. It will also feature a front splitter to channel cooling air to the front brakes. Rear tyres are wider — 275/40.
