Ford calls it the \u201cmost advanced Mustang ever,\u201d yet it remains the last of the V8 breed\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the 2024 Ford Mustang GT <strong>rumbles to life with its 5.0-liter V8<\/strong>, it\u2019s clear that despite all the modern changes, this pony still has its soul. Ford\u2019s seventh-generation Mustang (chassis code S650) arrives at a time when competitors are bowing out (RIP Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger going electric). This new Mustang might just be the <em>last V8 muscle car standing<\/em>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-font-size has-small-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-element-button\">Book inspection<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heart of the Beast: Coyote V8 Lives On<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Under that vented hood lies an evolved <strong>5.0L \u201cCoyote\u201d V8<\/strong>, now pushing out <strong>480 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque<\/strong> in the GT\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(up from 460 hp in 2022). Opt for the Performance Package with an active exhaust and output jumps to 486 hp. There\u2019s also a special <strong>Dark Horse<\/strong> edition with 500 hp for track junkies. In an era of turbos, this naturally-aspirated V8 is a treasure \u2013 it revs happily to 7,500 rpm with a ferocious roar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our test car had the standard output and a <strong>6-speed manual<\/strong> (yes, Ford kept the manual!). Launching a rear-drive 480 hp car can be tricky, but with a bit of feathering we clocked 0-60 mph in about <strong>4.4 seconds<\/strong>. The 10-speed automatic might do it slightly quicker (around 4.2s), but the manual is pure joy with short, satisfying throws. The clutch is on the heavier side, reminding you you\u2019re driving something substantial. And that <strong>signature V8 burble<\/strong> at idle \u2013 simply delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the street, the GT\u2019s power is easily accessible. There\u2019s strong mid-range torque; you don\u2019t have to downshift to overtake, but when you do drop a gear, the surge and accompanying exhaust wail put a grin on your face every time. For context, this new GT nearly matches the acceleration of the outgoing Mach 1 and outguns the old Mustang GT Performance Pack. It\u2019s properly quick, yet the delivery is linear and predictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ford improved cooling and added an optional electronic drift brake (more on that later) to ensure the <strong>Mustang still thrives on track days<\/strong>. It\u2019s clear they expect owners to use these horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chassis and Handling: Improved Poise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2024 Mustang rides on an updated version of the previous platform. Ford stiffened the chassis slightly and revised the suspension geometry. <strong>MagneRide adaptive dampers<\/strong> are optional (and fitted on our Performance Pack car). In Sport mode, body control is tight \u2013 far less float than muscle cars of yore. Turn-in is crisp for a 3,800 lb machine, thanks in part to quicker steering and standard Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires in the Performance Pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Push into a corner and the Mustang grips impressively. There\u2019s mild understeer at the limit, but a dab of throttle can rotate the rear \u2013 the hallmark of rear-wheel-drive balance. The <strong>new electronic drift brake<\/strong>, which looks like a traditional handbrake lever, is basically an on-demand rally-style e-brake that locks the rear wheels when pulled\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Track mode, we experimented with it \u2013 yank the lever mid-corner and the tail steps out controllably for drift fun. It\u2019s gimmicky, sure, but also effective (developed with Vaughn Gittin Jr., a drift champion). Importantly, it reverts to acting as a parking brake in normal driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For everyday driving, Normal mode on the MagneRide yields a <strong>surprisingly compliant ride<\/strong>. Ford heard complaints that the last Mustang could be jittery over rough pavement with performance suspension \u2013 the new one is more livable. It\u2019s still firm \u2013 you feel road texture \u2013 but sharp impacts are better absorbed. Our GT with the adaptive dampers and 19-inch wheels was comfortable enough to daily drive, a testament to those magnetorheological shocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Braking is strong with the Brembo 6-piston fronts in the Perf Pack, and the pedal feel is confidence-inspiring. We did a few hard stops from highway speeds with no fade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Design, Still a Mustang<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Visually, Ford played it safe \u2013 this is an evolution, not a revolution, of Mustang design. It retains the long hood, short deck, and fastback profile. The <strong>front grille is enlarged<\/strong> and more angular, evoking the 1960s Mustangs, and flanked by new tri-bar LED headlights. From the side, the fenders are a bit more chiseled. The rear features classic tri-bar taillights, now distinctly angled, and a clean bumper (our GT Performance Pack had the subtle rear wing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some have found the new front controversial \u2013 it\u2019s blockier \u2013 but in person and certain colors, it has a menacing presence. The design grows on you, especially knowing it\u2019s aerodynamic enough to meet modern standards while honoring heritage cues (like that hooded eyebrow look over the headlights). Ford even says the <strong>C-pillar shape<\/strong> is a nod to the original pony car design\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, the Mustang has slightly more <strong>aero refinement<\/strong> \u2013 an available belly pan, and functional extractors on the hood to reduce lift. It\u2019s still not a slippery EV-like shape, but Ford clearly balanced style with some wind tunnel work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tech and Interior: A Big Leap Forward<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the door and the interior is where the Mustang looks truly new. The double-hump dash is gone, replaced by a more open layout dominated by <strong>digital screens<\/strong> \u2013 a 12.4-inch digital gauge cluster and a 13.2-inch center touchscreen flowing in one continuous glass panel toward the driver\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a dramatic change: more modern, yes, though some lament the loss of retro touches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>digital cluster<\/strong> is highly customizable, including a cool retro display that mimics old Fox-body Ford Mustang GT gauges for nostalgia. In track mode, it can show a horizontal tach bar (similar to previous Shelby GT350). The graphics are crisp, and it\u2019s fairly easy to cycle through info.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>center touchscreen<\/strong> runs Sync 4 and is snappy. It integrates climate controls (alas, physical knobs are mostly gone \u2013 only a volume knob remains). Ford likely did this to declutter and appeal to younger buyers. While we miss some buttons, the UI is logically arranged and supports wireless Apple CarPlay\/Android Auto. The system also allows over-the-air updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Material quality is improved: the dash and door panels have soft-touch surfaces, and our Premium trim had contrast stitching. The cabin feels a bit cozier due to the higher center console design (housing a new wireless charger slot). Space is essentially unchanged \u2013 the back seat is 2+2 tight for adults, fine for kids or short trips. Trunk space (about 13.3 cu ft) remains decent for a sports coupe, easily fitting a couple of bags or a golf set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One departure: <strong>no more mechanical handbrake<\/strong> (it\u2019s that electronic drift lever now). Also, the manual shifter has been slightly repositioned for a better reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tech features like <strong>adaptive cruise, lane-keeping assist, and even a new optional Performance electronic parking brake (drift brake)<\/strong> highlight that this is a thoroughly contemporary car \u2013 yet the availability of a manual and a roaring V8 make it feel reassuringly old-school too. It\u2019s a blend of analog and digital that largely works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Last Muscle Car Standing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Camaro ceasing production and Dodge\u2019s Challenger being reborn as an EV, the 2024 Ford Mustang GT stands alone in offering a V8, manual, and rear-drive combo in a mainstream performance car. Ford knows this and has really doubled down on the Mustang\u2019s identity: fun, freedom, and accessible performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They even emphasize it\u2019s the <em>\u201clast of the V8s\u201d<\/em> scenario, marketing-wise \u2013 and indeed, Ford has said they\u2019ll keep the Mustang\u2019s V8 alive as long as possible, even as long as it\u2019s \u201clegally possible\u201d in the face of regulations\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For enthusiasts, this Ford Mustang GT is a victory lap for the genre. It\u2019s not perfect \u2013 rear visibility is still limited (thank goodness for standard blind-spot monitors), fuel economy remains low (we averaged 16 MPG in mixed spirited driving \u2013 though cylinder deactivation can help on highway cruises), and the car\u2019s weight means it\u2019s more grand-tourer than agile sports car in tight switchbacks. But boy, does it deliver on the smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/carexamer.com\/blog\/sed-volkswagen-vw-vehicle-inspection\/\">Buying a used VW.<\/a>\u00a0<a
