The New Ford Mustang 2010 – An Incredibly Powerful Looking Muscle Car

by Auto on August 6, 2009

The 2010 Ford Mustang is an America’s favorite muscle car for 45 years straight after the original car made its first appearance in 1964. The New Mustang has revamped a lot – hits the streets with a new exterior design; new world-class interior featuring well-crafted materials and updated technology; and a V8 with even more power and an even throatier signature Ford Mustang exhaust sound. Until now Ford Mustang is is one of the world’s most beloved automotive and cultural icons, and also one of the best sports cars in America.

This 2010 Mustang is not a brand new sports car, but rather a subtly enhanced version of the existing model. The exterior styling has been cleaned up made a bit more aggressive, while maintaining a close link to the mustangs of the 1968-1969 era that inspired the whole design.

The 2010 Ford Mustang body has revamped with new styling. This time with integrated multi-element headlamps replacing the twin round lamps of previous Mustangs, a power-dome hood that droops over the grille at its leading edge, completely new side sculpting. At the back, the new Mustang 2010 presents its tail lamps proudly on an outgoing surface. The new shape pays dividends in fuel economy and aerodynamic stability, while the details add to its attractiveness. In a slick bit of showmanship, leading into the tail, the rear fender presents a distinct kick up that is much stronger and more powerful-looking than the outgoing model.

The New Ford Mustang is the popular pony package interior upgrade for drivers who intend to get dress the interior of their new mustang bulitt door lock soldiers, bulitt pedals, cobra 4 way head restraint and a mustang gt leather shift knob. The Mustang’s interior looks similar to its predecessor’s, but every dash, seat and console surface has been redesigned and formed of top-quality materials. The instrument panel top, no longer made of hard plastic, is currently integrated with the rest of the dashboard, improving quality and cutting assembly complexity and costs. Front seating is a bit tighter than other sporty coupes, and since the Mustang is a 2+2, the rear seats are still very snug and not match for adults. As before, this car is offered as Ford Mustang coupe or as Mustangs convertible, with a power-folding soft top.

The New Mustang is a lot quieter than the older car, with improvements in wind noise, road noise, mirror noise and powertrain noise. The radio antenna is moved to the rear to eliminate noise, the wiper design is changedmodified to flatter blades that don’t create as much noise, the washer nozzles are inside the hood, and the mirrors are redesigned. Inside, there is more mastic, a better grade of carpeting, a sound- absorbing headliner material, and there is much more noise insulation in the body.

The 2010 Ford Mustang is available in four basic onfigurations: V-6, V-6 Premium, GT, and GT Premium.The 2010 Mustang is powered by the 4.0-liter, 210-horsepower V-6 is good, but is no equal for the revised 315-horsepower 4.6- liter V8 GT, which produces 325 pounds-feet of torque and adds 15 hp due to a cold-air induction system. All models come equipped with a choice of five-speed manual or automatic transmissions.
