The Mustang's available electronic drift brake lets you drive like a pro, even if you've never driven a car like this before. This feature is designed exclusively for track use. The standard electronic line lock lets you spin the rear tires to warm them up while the front tires stay firmly in place. MagneRide dampers create a smooth ride, even on uneven tracks.
Interior Features
The Mustang's futuristic-looking digital cockpit was inspired by fighter jets, giving you the distinct feeling that you're about to take off on a ride like none other. The flat-bottomed steering wheel makes it easy to slide in and out of your cockpit. Customizable ambient lighting on select trims lets you set the mood perfectly for your next adventure.
Cloth seats come standard with available micro suede vinyl inserts, leather seat inserts, or ActiveX synthetic leather upholstery. Select models offer aesthetic upgrades such as accented door trim, a stitched dashboard, colored accent upholstery stitching, a full-leather steering wheel, and accent striping on the seat belts.
Exterior Design
The new 2024 Mustang features notable callbacks to its original design. The upper grille design, short rear overhang, and broad haunches are reminiscent of the original 1960s Mustang. The Mustang features tri-bar lighting across both the headlamps and rear deck. The GT and EcoBoost models are easily differentiated by their distinctive front ends, with the former featuring large grille openings.
The 2024 Ford Mustang is available in 11 colors, including two brand-new shades. Yellow Splash and Vapor Blue join the lineup alongside standards such as Race Red and Iconic Silver Metallic. These paint hues are accented with new stripe colors. Wheels range from 17-inch standard to a sizable 20-inch available alloy wheel. The EcoBoost and GT models are also available with the Bronze Design Series Appearance Package, which features bronze badges and distinctive Sinister Bronze alloy wheels.
Technology and Safety
Inside the 2024 Mustang, you have two digital displays to provide full, customizable access to the vehicle's features. The sizable 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster displays drive mode visuals in a sleek style based on the latest video games. You can rotate the visuals with the swipe of a finger in a gamified manner that makes the driving experience as entertaining as it is functional. Since the colors and styling are fully customizable, you can take a deep dive into the design or opt for the preset "calm" mode that displays just the essentials.
The 13.2-inch infotainment screen makes it easier than ever to navigate the additional features and functionality built into this Mustang. It sits behind a curved glass panel to continue the sleek jet-like theme of the car. Equipped with Ford SYNC 4 software, the system is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Ford Streaming and Amazon Alexa are both accessible in the system, accepting voice commands for hands-free control. Ford's Power-Up software allows you to upgrade your vehicle technology over time for a continually evolving driving experience.
The Mustang key fob lets you control select features remotely. This handy accessory now goes beyond just locking and unlocking the car thanks to the new remote rev feature. Get your blood pumping before you're even in the driver's seat with this exhilarating button.
You'll have no trouble charging your devices in the 2024 Mustang thanks to the convenient overhead USB ports that are positioned with track cameras in mind. You'll also find a wireless charging pad for mobile devices. The 2024 Mustang comes standard with safety features, including lane departure warning and lane-keep assist.
